Note that Effexor can have serious withdrawal effects, even if you just miss one dose. I wasn't told that before I went on it and found out the hard way. It has helped me somewhat with depression, but I have to be very careful not to miss a dose. Good luck.

I use venlafaxine for generalized chronic pain. The reduction of the pain is notable and my side effects were. Dreams every day (many dreams every night, sometimes i can remember these dreams), and more difficult to get pleasure/ejaculate on my sex life? im not sure but it can be too. Hope it can help someone.
