You might try the links below to help give insight into the drug that your taking.
My suggestion - for what it is worth - talk to the pharmacy and if that doesn't address your questions - talk to your doctor or the nurse.

These are all good answers. But the most important is DO NOT STOP TAKING IT!
It is actually FAR MORE DANGEROUS to stop taking it than to keep taking it (even with bad side effects). You should tell your doctor *everything* that's going on and let him/her decide.
I take Effexor, which is similar - although not exactly the same. The side effects I got were: weight gain, sleepyness, yawning when I walk outside in the sunshine, slight lightheadedness when I stand up quickly after scrunching down for a while, I lost some interest in sex and my orgasms felt less powerful (not the end of the world).
But best of all, I started feeling a lot better! I hope you start to feel better too. Do a little exercise, eat healthy food, have a strict sleep schedule & think pleasant thoughts. :) I'm keeping my fingers crossed for ya!

the mild side effects will wear off in about 2 to 3 weeks, stick with it it will help, it will take 7 to 15 weeks to feel the full effect and to feel lots better.

Sleepiness, upset stomach. You should have gotten a paper with the symptoms when you filled the prescription.
Whatever you do, don't STOP taking it. Or so they say.
