Suggest Remedy For Anxiety When On Effexor For Migraine Headaches

My neurologist prescribed Effexor for my migraine headaches; she told me to take one daily for the first week, then increase to two daily, with meals. I have been taking it for a week now, and had extreme nausea yesterday and slight nausea and headache today. When I looked up the drug, it seems that it is an anti-anxiety drug being used for a different purpose. Can you provide any insight as to why this has been prescribed an thd whether it is advisable to continue using it with these symptoms? Thank you.
