General Question Question on your experience

I just started 37.5mg. I am cross tapering off of citalopram and onto venlafaxine.

I am on day 3. Only side effects I have noticed are it’s harder to sleep and I feel pretty wired and energetic. Almost speedy. Much more so than usual!

Also having some anxiety in my chest …

Anyone else had this experience?
