I'm trying to get off Effexor cold-turkey because of one of the side effects that some doctors aren't aware of - at least my doctor didn't know. HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE. It is stated in the warnings, if one does research. My BP was running in the 170s and 180s over 110s. The doc was concerned about that and put me on HCTZ for the BP. I did some research on the net about High BP. There was a comment about ADs and so I investigated Effexor - sure enough, there it was, a warning about Effexor and high BP. I sent the info to my doc and he said I should quit Effexor. Geeze, the brain chills or whatever everyone describes them is unbearable.
There's two warnings in this message, don't assume your doctor is aware of everything, and monitor your blood pressure.
I wish the withdrawls would go away - my question, is how long do I have to endure these "brain chills"?
