Nasty Taste and Shortness of Breath After Taking Venlafaxine

Have any of you had this happen? What did you do, or did it go away? This afternoon I was in a rush and took my Venlafaxine pill (I normally drink half a protein shake before I take my pill) but today I took about 6 or so sips just to have something on my stomach and then I took it. Well for the past hour I'd say, I've been having a nasty taste coming up, like acid. (almost like I ate a battery) I'm thinking it has something to do with my pill (?πŸ™„) but you would think by now it would be gone. (I take my pill at 1pm everyday) I've been having severe shortness of breath, shakes (anxiety feels) all afternoon and can't seem to "chill and relax" I lay down and then the acid taste comes back πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«.

thankfully it only lasted a few hours πŸ˜‘, I'm thinking I didn't have enough food on my stomach when I took my pill. I also take other pills (but after I've taken my venlafaxine)

There was one med that I used to be on that would cause me to throw up if I didn't eat with it but that is not this one. You might wanna eat before you take it otherwise reflux can happen.

I always take mine with just one sip of water in the morning and I'm usually ok. I feel like everybody is different, though.

you haven't had any problems? Thankfully this time only happened once 🀞 I'm trying to be more aware of having something on my stomach first. LoL
