"i am currently taking 75mg of venlafaxine.  about 20 minutes after taking my capusule on day 1, i felt a little loopy for about an hour but nothing major.  my appetite was tremedously lower for the day as well.  day 2 and now at today, day 3, it&#039;s like i&#039;m taking a sugar pill in terms of side effects.  i have none at all and wouldn&#039;t feel like i was taking anythign except is has slightly reduced my level of anxiety and i notice that i&#039;m having an easier time focusing on my work projects.  i may need to increase the dosage at some point but i&#039;m going to give it a month to see if it needs some time.  hope everyone else has the same postive experience that i have so far!"
