Guest guest Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Theresa, I've been taking Effexor for a couple months for hot flashes and night sweats. Although it has cut down on them (I think) I still get them and they can still be bad. But I have had no other side effects that I know of (sometimes its hard to say what is the med or what is the treatment). Barb Side effects Hi to all with questions about side effects from effexor. Did or have any of you ladies had any bad side effects from taking effexor and if so what did you finally receive? Or was there anything you could take? My doctor gave me a sample pack to try. And man, I feel like a nervous wreck. Like a cat on a hot tin roof. and it made very nauseous also. --------------------------------- Talk is cheap. Use Yahoo! Messenger to make PC-to-Phone calls.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Theresa – I was on Effexor for a short time; it made my hands tremble and also made me nauseous. There wasn’t anything to offset it, I just stopped taking it. Side effects Hi to all with questions about side effects from effexor.

And man, I feel like a nervous wreck. Like a cat on a hot tin roof. and it made very nauseous also. >>> My dr gave it to me when I was first diagnosed and I only took it a week or so but I was having extremely high blood pressure and I had never had that before so I quit taking it after that and I have not had any anti depressants since. She said if I needed something she would prescribe something else- to let her know - but I haven't so far . I know she prescibes it a lot. I think it is her first choice but it does have a lot of side effects. I guess they all do though! Love, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Hmmmm... my hands due tremble. Had a slight problem with my left thumb when I was stressed before BC, but now both hands tremble. Just thought it was from the chemo, low blood counts, fatigue, etc. Had not even thought of the Effexor. Thanks, . Barb Side effects Hi to all with questions about side effects from effexor.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 hi! I was given effexor to help me quit smoking. It didn't work. It didn't give me any side effects. I have not been given any other anti-depressants. I have just recently been swithed from Tamoxifen to Arimdex. I have not had any side effects from the Arimdex. Although I was sick for 3 days, when I started Tamoxifen. One good thing from the chemo, menapause.......LOL. God bless all!
