I HAVE A COMMENT AND A QUESTION FOR OTHER READERS. I HAVE TAKEN EFFEXOR XR AND HAVE BEEN VERY, VERY SATISFIED. HOWEVER, I AM ABOUT TO LOOSE MY COVERALGE AND NEED TO CONVERT TO THE GENERIC VENLAFAXINE. HAS ANYONE CHANGED FROM EFFECOR TO THE GENERIC? ANY NOTICABLE DIFFERENCES? PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU.

I have taken this medication for 1 month now. Apart from the constant yawning, a noted side effect, this medication is very good. I have dramatically cut back on my mood swings. My shyness is starting to subside also.
