Answers: HAaas anyone experienced this
Uncontrollable yawning will occur with almost any antidepressant at first.
An antidepressant affects your central nervouse system which has to do with yawning.
This is normal and should stop in about a week or 2
The reason we yawn is because we aren't getting enough oxygen. Try taking more deep breaths.
yes, this is sometimes common with effexor. mostly when you start it. it should go away in about two weeks.
Yawning is considered to be one side effect of this class of antidepressants. If it is bothersome to you, talk with your pharmacist and/or the professional who prescribed the medication. This might put your mind more at ease. Good question.
Too many antidepressants cause this. I don't like it at all. Lexapro doesn't cause this.
I take Effexor XR and have not experienced it personally. I am a student counselor, though, and some of my clients have mentioned this side effect. They also mention that it gets better over time. Monitor it and make note of how often it's happening so you can report it to your doctor when you check in about how the medication is going.
I'm on Effexor and I've never had that problem.
Yawning is a side-effect seen with this type of antidepressant (both SSRIs and SNRIs).
One to speak to your doctor about? The yawning itself may not be too bothersome, but the reasoning behind why the yawning is occurring may need to be discussed.
It doesn't always get better with time. Are you having any other indications of jaw movements? Jaw pain, stiff jaws in the morning; neck or shoulder pain, tension or stiffness? Teeth grinding?
