I've been on Effexor XR for about a year. I had to stop taking the medication when I found out I was pregnant with my second child. It's a bitch to come off this medication . The first time I started taking Effexor XR, I was on it for about 6 months prior to finding out I was pregnant. The only side effect I encountered was dry mouth/thirst. I started taking it again the day after my second child was born. This time around, it seems the side effects have been more prevelant. The night sweats are really bad, and I am a operating room nurse that circulates, so I move around quite a bit on my job, and tend to sweat during the day as well. Thought maybe it might be pre-menopausal, who knows? I will keep taking the medication though, because i'm a totally different person when i'm taking it. Maybe have had some feelings of solomnence as well. Anyone else feel this way?
