been on effexor xr for 7 months yeah the side-effect sound just like mine! They will pass as your body adjusts to the tablets. It took about 3 weeks for me but well worth it as they really work and made me much less depressed.
I still have strange dreams and suffer from sweating but all other side-effects are gone. Dont miss a dose it apparently is hell! Im on 225mg of effexor and each time I increased the side-effects came back but went again fairly soon.
Get your doctor to check your BP regularly & Id also ask to have an ECG done to check your heart rate is ok. (effexor alters it apparently!)
good luck x
