A member asked:
I've had a headache since taking effexor (venlafaxine) last night. (1st dose.) should i just ignore, continue taking? slight jitters, too.

Normal: This is a normal response to antidepressant medications. The side effects usually go away in 7-10 days. I would recommend to continue taking it and speak to your doctor if you can not tolerate the side effects.
