No need to wait. The devices are cheap. I use this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WCQVV71/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Costs about the same as a typical copay, but you can check as often as you want. When you get the feelings you're describing you can check right then and there, and know for sure if you're BP is elevated from normal.
It's literally a listed side effect: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_adverse_effects_of_venlafaxine
Is it all the time or just at night? I have it as well, and also take Dexedrine (primary salt in Adderall). It doesn't get me to bad during the day... Or maybe it did initially but went away... But I have it bad at night. If you don't like the dentist you can go on Amazon and get the same night guard (they have all day ones as well) for WAY less than the dentist. You do the mold, send it in, they send it back. Super easy. Armor Guard Mouth or Dental... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I5136XE
I use an app called Medisafe to remind me and it seems to do a good job, it won't stop reminding until I take the dose.

I'm glad you asked. Now my poops are perfect.

You can actually get prescribed these free if you're in a 1st world country.
Do not worry about it! Just make sure you take it at the right time tomorrow and stay consistent. I solved the memory issue with a 7-day pill box I use just for Effexor; they are as cheap as $3 on amazon
My worst day was day 4. Then I got this and it worked really well. I also tried this.
Both worked really well. Pretty sure they’ve saved my life going through this (I’m on week 3 of withdrawal) I would occasionally take Nauzine too. That has helped a lot.
Keep your head up. The dizziness and nausea is there occasionally (and I’m very VERY susceptible to both dizziness and nausea). The stuff I suggested will help. It’s not forever, I promise.
I'm not a doctor, but like the other commenter said it's pretty unlikely you'll overdose if you take it twice in a day at that dose. I personally would take it just in case, especially if my withdrawal symptoms were bad.
This won't help you now but definitely invest in these:

You'll always know when you last took it. I have always been bad about taking medicine regularly and these have been a lifesaver!
I cannot comment on the compulsion things except to all if you ever have any type of mania? Undiagnosed bipolar when given an SSRI/SNRI can cause rapid cycling. That would just mean you're in the wrong med.
I don't clench/grind during the day but I know I would sometimes at night. Turns out that's common for Effexor across the board so it ramped it up big time for me. Get a night guard. It'll save you teeth and reduce any been and jaw pain. Don't even mess with the crap from Walgreens/CVS or in bulk from Amazon. Wish somebody had told me this initially because I blew SO MUCH money when I could have just gotten the kind a dentist sells but for a fraction of the cost, they're way better, and last way longer.
Here's an Amazon listing. You just do a mold, ship it to them, and they ship it back. Mine were perfect the first time but they'll work with you to ensure its a good fit. It's not a big operation but everyone I've talked to was very nice. Not like a receptionist it call center person but a dude working there to make them kinda deal.

Naw. I take mine in the morning and it's still bad.

The first few weeks are onboarding side effects and what you've described sounds like just that. On the up side, most will dissipate after that time frame.
Do be sure to take you Effexor at the same time every day. Like... Within the hour. Effexor has one of the shortest half-life's of any of these meds so withdrawal can set in pretty quickly. You'll hear people talk about brain zaps and nausea but most of that is easily mitigated . Check the wiki at /r/EffexorSuccess for some more info.
Do you by chance clench your jaw? That could be the neck pain. I don't during the day but I know I would sometimes at night.
