It's been a full year now, but I seem to remember becoming a little miserable right from the start, and getting worse and worse as I built up to a big dose.
The symptoms I had ranged from headaches to staggering when I walked and falling down a lot, and finally got to the point I couldn't keep any food down at all. Really, not a nice thing. The other symptom I remember was tension in all my muscles, especially the jaw and the large muscles in my legs. I was tense and shaking all the time. Yuck. It was lousy.
The first few days were not as awful as they got, but it wasn't great, either. The Effexor, on the other hand, was dreamy from the start: while I didn't sleep at all the first night or three, I was still rested for the first time in weeks.
Good luck to you, and if you feel all right now, you'll probably be fine.
