Well here we are i was on citalopram 5 mg and began having chest pain and burning feeling. doctor changed me to generic effexor and i took the first dose today. i have mild to moderate ocd and anxiety no depression. hope this works. I am afraid to have allergic reaction to this med or any med for that matter lol.
i already have ibs, eshopageal spasm, and gastritis which the gastro doc thinks is stress related.. we will see.

thanks

any advise or well wishes are accepted.

Effexor worked quite well for me for 4 years, with little side effects, hopefully you will have the same results.

Hi,

Well its early days with your new medication. It would normally take antime from 3-6 weeks plus to start feeling a positive change that you will notice.

If you have any concerns always talk to your Doctor as he is a professional. So just give it enough time.

Well today is the second day and i luckly had no stomache ache no heart burn no nausea.... haapy happy.
the only thing i noticed was about 30 min before i took my dose which was 30 min early..i started to feel a little funny.
looks like the start of a great love affair. lol.

That's a good improvement though Anxious. Fingers crossed for you xx
