Will I feel unbearable agitation every time I take Efectin?

Venlafaxine - the active substance of the drug Efectin - works after at least 2 weeks, often - longer. At the beginning of therapy, some side effects may intensify. In particular, this applies to thoughts of self-harm or suicide, but the patient may also feel powerless, tired, weak, worsening depression or anxiety, sweating, muscle tension, throbbing, a feeling of tremor or heat in various parts of the body, agitation or restlessness. Other side effects may also be more pronounced at the beginning of therapy. This is due to the fact that drugs weaken the perception of anxiety quite quickly, but do not immediately have an antidepressant effect. If the patient is not able to cope during the adaptation period due to numerous side effects, he should consult a doctor. If it is not possible to talk to the attending physician, he should consult his family doctor. In selected cases, the psychiatrist may add emergency sedatives and hypnotics at the beginning of treatment for a period of about 2 weeks. They will help to eliminate the side effects that venlafaxine causes in the initial period of therapy.
