Medication questions
My PA told me
Effexor
is an effective treatment for hot flashes. It’s mainly an anti depressant, and while I don’t think I’m depressed, I do have a fair number of days when I have no motivation, which I attributed to medication related fatigue, but who knows.

Med question
I just started taking
Effexor
xr and it has given me horrible panic for 2 nights with racing scary thoughts...is this normal in the beginning stages? or is this a sign it's not for me? I'm new to starting meds trying to find the right one for me.

Help finding Psych who’ll prescribe
But I have to do something soon because I only have about a months worth of my other psych meds (
Effexor
, and diazepam for panic attacks/restless leg/insomnia) left. Any advice would be welcome.

Anyone with experience with Effexor XR?
Does anyone have any experience with taking
Effexor
XR/Venlafaxine and its affects on your blood pressure? Since I begun taking it several months ago its drastically helped my Depression but my blood pressure has gone from 120/80 (normal) to 140/90 range (worrying).

Feeling worse and worse
I know it is probably the depression or the
Effexor
but I’m scared that I am truly losing it. I wonder if I need to go inpatient in order to help me but I feel that would be so embarrassing.

If it’s not broke don’t fix it!
My husband would not take it again and also stopped taking
Effexor
, 4 yrs have passed off his meds, worst time ever!

Medication Woes
Found out the combination of Adderall and
Effexor
in me causes Serotonin Syndrom. This apparently has happened more than once before with other medication combinations. So though I am going thru
Effexor
withdraws due to emergency immediate stoppage my hope for a better tomorrow is very high.

Wish I could buy an insurance policy to pay for prescriptions only!
I even tried finding a physician online for a flat fee to simply write a prescription for Prozac or
Effexor
....you would think it would be simple - as these are anti-depressants rather than narcotics.

Effexor XR or other Anxiety Meds and dose changes?
I'm on
Effexor
XR 112.5; I was doing much better (but not all better) until my doc upped by dose to 150. Upon upping my anxiety became much worse and my rumination and overthinking/anxiety came back in a rush.

Tired of Anxiety and feeling Guilty..
Now I am on
Effexor
XR, which was helping, until my doctor recently increased me from 112.5 (which was helping the best but there was room for improvement) to 150.. which followed anxiety, and my guilt/depression/anxiety came back in a rush!
