This is an interesting question. I am a classical singer who also plays flute and piano.
I came off 75mg of Effexor about 6 weeks ago and have not noticed any difference in my artistic interpretation or in my ability to express my feelings through my voice. My breath control has improved but I suspect that this is due to an increase in exercise levels.One thing that I have noticed is that my co-ordination on the piano seems a lot better! (For example, I learned a new contrapuntal fugue last night and only needed to spend around 10-20 minutes practising on separate hands. Usually it takes days!) My head does seem a lot clearer without the influence of medication; maybe this has something to do with it.
