The following list shows the rates of adverse symptoms seen in people taking
venlafaxine.[1][2][3]
Very common (>10% incidence)
Headache — an often transient side effect that is common to most
serotonin reuptake inhibitors and that most often occurs at the beginning of therapy or after a dose escalation.
Nausea — an adverse effect that is more common with venlafaxine than with the
SSRIs. Usually transient and less severe in those receiving the extended release formulations.
Ejaculation disorder — sexual side effects can be seen with virtually any antidepressant, especially those that inhibit the reuptake of serotonin (including venlafaxine).[4]
