Roo

When I first started on Effexor I had extreme nausea which disappeared after a couple of weeks, extremely dry mouth and insomnia. Months later I still have the dry mouth albeit not quite as bad and the insomnia is still here. I have to take meds for that. I initially lost weight on Effexor as I had relatively no appetite and I've never had any sexual side effects. I'm one on the unlucky ones that didn't feel any AD effect until I got to a high dosage. YMMV. I think most people respond at low dosages. I was not that lucky.

As far as generic vs brand name drugs, I live in Canada and my pharmacist told me there is no difference in them. Here we are always given generic unless we/dr specifically ask for the brand name.

Hope this helps and good luck!
