It takes several weeks for the full benefits of effexor to be felt. I started feeling less depressed very quickly, but it was several months before I got up to the dosage of 150mg per day fromt he 37.5 I had started at.
The side effects were annoying but seemed like a small price to pay to be able to function every day. Effexor stopped working for me this past September when I had a crash of depression and anxiety, and now I'm on Cymbalta.
good luck - welcome to babble. Please feel free to jump in on any thread.
