Glad you seem to be doing okay with the 37.5. The sweating, lack of appetite and tiredness seems to be common side effects. I've always sweat but it wasn't till I read so many people on this thread say they sweat more, did I realize I was also sweating more. I seem to be drinking water vs. none. My appetite decreased but I could stand to lose alot of weight. Make sure you take the med with something. I used to get terrible heartburn, until I read that it should be taken with a meal or even some crackers or toast. I'm on 300mgs now (sound like alot huh?) Feel better as far as depression goes. I also have anxiety disorder for which I take xanex and agraphobia which is also treated with the effexor and getting better. My memory is sometimes shot but I write alot of things down. Let us know how you do on the 75, okay?
