I had side effects from day 1 of starting the effexor at 37.5 mg. The main side effect was the dizziness and feelings of detachment. My pdoc continued to increase my dose by 37.5 mg each week until I reached 150 mg. Needless to say, the side effects escalated until I could no longer tolerate feeling like a zombie. I also gained 10 pounds on the stuff. I have read numerous posts that it was very effective for some, and I hope you are one of those. So far, I am pleased with the lexapro...I can think clearly and do not have any of the dizziness associated with the effexor. Keep me posted and let me know how things are going.
