Effexor has a very short half life... like 5 hrs or so.
(in tablet form). That means it is starting to wear off after 5 hrs.
This is why they later introduced a long acting form.
I'd report the side effects to the doctor. Also when you go back there ask for blood pressure check, because Effexor can raise blood pressure in some people.
Usually stomach/nausea effects come when the drug is active, not wearing off. But you know Effexor is a dual action type anti-depressant, and has norepi and serotonin (the nausea part) effects combined. It could be that the norepi part is suppressing the serotonin part, and you are feeling the norepi part wearing off first which would then reveal the nausea part.
The stomach side effects are terrible for some people, and there are those who discontinue SSRI or SNRI type drugs because of them. I wouldn't raise your dose too fast if you have the nausea now.
