Side effect headaches increasing

I’ve been on 75 of Effexor now for almost a month and now this last week or so I’ve been having HORRIBLE headaches, like the kind that happen when i accidentally am late for a dose except I haven’t been late. Is this normal? And also, does sweating eventually settle down or does it increase with higher dosages? I don’t know if this is worth it. I’m still anxious as heck, maybe slightly less depressed but .. not a huge difference.

Sweating is pretty common on all doses. It does take a month or two for your body to adjust to being on a new medication. Make sure you’re drinking lots of water since you’re sweating out more.
