How Long Will It Take For The Side Effects To Subside After Restarting Effexor?
My husband just restarted on Effexor after taking himself off it 7 months ago He was fine until 3 days ago and has now crashed into depression as before. He is having some of the less serious side effects. Will those eventually subside. He wants to stop the med and I m ready to leave if he does!!

Hi,
The particular minor side effects that he is experiencing were not mentioned but as you stated, some do subside with time. You can ask about the particular side effects to get an idea about their timeline.
It is understandable for you to be frustrated with the lack of improvement in his symptoms and the poor compliance with medication.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi,
If he is facing problems then he may need a dose adjustment.
If the drug is taken regularly then side effects may not subside unless acclimatize with them.
Please consult your treating physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
