Sorry you are having stomach upset. I looked it up, and that is a common side effect of Effexor, so know that you are not alone.

Are you taking it with food? It says to take with a little food, applesauce or something.

Hopefully taking it with food helps. Sometimes those type of side effects will get better in a couple days. If it doesn't get better though, you can always call your doctor and let them know and they will let you know what else you can do.

I know taking new medications is hard. But good for you for doing it. You are doing great. Hang in there.

Hello, sorry for your troubles, I have been on that many years ago and it did me no good I was off it within a month or so. I do however suffer from a lot of stomach issues with my multiple sclerosis. I do not know about a remedy directly pertaining to this medication for this but I can tell you that for a year now every single day, due to bad reaction of a medication, my stomach has been very bad and it is likely permanently damaged. It never stops.

I used CBD to help me a lot, especially if you can eat it somehow. If you try it just be sure it comes from a proper source because many aren't these days. I am in Canada so it is easy for me to get that not sure for you though.

I use heat on my stomach near every day when it gets bad, watch what I eat. Lavender seems to help everything it has many benefits and anything of that you can ingest may help, same with turmeric. I have used both over the years for many ailments.

I hope you feel better! Your body might just still be getting used to it and will subside later but who knows. I have had no luck with medication in my life. I pray you find relief!

Hi, when I first started on Effexor XR I was terrible with nausea, it lasted weeks, when I had it reviewed my gp switched it to the ‘prolonged release’ capsules instead of the immediate release and It was much better. Just worth a thought.
I’m proud of you warrior, you are the eye in your own storm, you can choose where to look.

That's a horrible choice, whan I was on it, I had sore eyes. It made me feel a lot of eye sensitivity.
