Effexor raised my blood pressure so monitor yours carefully. The side effects (SE's) aren't fun. Mine usually took 2-3 weeks to fade away after each dosage increase. Take Benedryl at night if you have insomnia or if you get the early morning wakeups (3:00 am). <~ that's a strange one. Appetite decrease is fairly common along with an upset tummy. I stuck with Effexor through all these SE's because it worked fairly quickly on my anxiety & stress at work. I sure yawned alot though. :) If you decide not to stick with Effexor, taper off slowly to avoid withdrawal.
Good Luck & Keep Posting!
