Hi Carol, I have started Effexor I am moving my way up to 75mg I take the ex fomula extended release form that carries far less side effects I have had none so far. This guy Pete started His Effexor Journal on here a few weeks ago and I have joined him since I started soon after you should read it he puts down his experiences with it and I have been doing mine as well. It is under this same heading Understanding Panic and Agoraphobia. It is really started to help me now. I have been feeling better and better. Well go to it and read I wrote down how I started etc which was at a lower dose then Pete. FYI I suffer Panic Disorder, Agoraphobia, along with Major Depression caused from it. I think you will find it very helpful seeing how started taking the med and how I started which is a little different from him.
Hugs Tita
