I am scared of taking Effexor.

21F I am terribly afraid of taking this med. I just got prescribed it this morning. Going into this I definitely wanted help with my anxiety and panic attacks of course but now that I am looking at this bottle, I am scared of the side effects. I know that is a self pity thing to say and of course there will be some side effects but I still am not ready. I don’t want to have to rely on meds but I’m stuck with my anxiety at this point and need some help other than therapy. Does anyone have side effects such as headaches, acne, body aches or anything that is terrible? I had acne really bad a year and a half ago and was on accutane (been off it for 8 months now) and now my skin is 95% clear and I’m scared this med will erase all of the hard work and pain I put into my skin. Did Effexor make your skin go haywire? Also, if anyone has any words of encouragement that would be awesome! Thank you so much.

Tldr; I am terrified to take this med due to possible bad side effects.
