Effexor (venlafaxine) is used for treatment of major depression. A generic version of Effexor is available. Effexor side effects can cause nausea, headaches, anxiety, insomnia, drowsiness, and loss of appetite. Increased blood pressure can occur and seizures have been reported. Abrupt discontinuation of Effexor may cause dizziness, headache, nausea, changes in mood, or changes in the sense of smell, and taste.
