Venlafaxine, excessive yauning and chills
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi everyone,
Just a strange question I started 75mg of Venlafaxine yesterday. I can't stop yawning and yawning so much that my eyes are watering and nose running. Also I seem to be very cold and which is unsual for me as I'm normally really hot all the time. Is this something anyone else has experienced or am I just tired/ run down?
Thanks Luke

I started 75 about 3 months ago and 150 two months ago. Yawning definitely an initial side effect, which subsided after about 2-3 weeks. I also had "dry mouth" which has subsided as well.
The main side effects I am still experiencing after 3 months is sweating at night and delayed ejaculation.
If you can hang in there, I really am a believer in this antidepressant. I understand it can affect people differently, but for me it has been very helpful.
Good luck, keep us posted on your progress.

The side effects in the end are why I moved on to Mirtazapine. The alcohol cravings I got from Venlafaxine were ridiculous plus it stopped the next day 'booze doom' making drinking even more desirable!
The worst side effect for me though was the sweating, both night and day. Even moving slightly or becoming the tiniest bit stressed turned me into Niagra Falls! I have a job where I work very close to people so it really hindered my everyday life.
If the side effects you get are copable though then stick with it.
