No -- call your doc: Your doctor will want to know how you're feeling, especially if you're having difficulty with the change. Please call him or her so that s/he can help you individually. Healthtap doctors don't know you or your history like your own doctor does. Your own doctor is likely trying to help you feel better by changing medications -- and can't do this without your feedback. Be well.

Hang in: It takes time for Effexor (venlafaxine) to start to work & for the previous medicine to get out of your system--it will take time to see what Effexor (venlafaxine) will do for you.
