Effexor XR strange side effect- causing shaky legs?
Posted , 3 users are following.
I am taking Effexor XR for anxiety and dr recently upped my dose from 150mg to 225mgs 4 weeks ago. The day I upped my dose I started having a strange feeling in my legs. It feels like they are shaky and weak. I really notice it when I exercise because my legs get tired fast. The only other time I've experienced this was after having a panic attack but I'm not having panic attacks anymore. It comes and goes but happens more often than not. Please let me know if anyone else has experienced this. Thanks!

Yep, arms and legs like you're just done a major workout and you're hands get all trembly. I get it on the right side of my face including my top lip too. Very disconcerting, but you get used to it or maybe it stops happening as badly. Comes and goes usually at the most inappropriate moments.

Yes! It's so bizarre, but I go t the gym a lot and it's interfering with my workouts. I didn't have this when I was on the 150mgs, so I guess I need to weight the pros and cons and decide if I should go back to the 150. Glad to know I'm not the only one this is happening to! Thanks for your input!

Hi, did you have this the entire time you were taking Effexor? Mine didn't start until I upped my dose to the 225mgs. I don't know if it's coincidence or what. I'm seriously thinking I need to go back to the 150mgs because I don't notice much of a difference in my anxiety on the 225mgs. Thank you!
