I know what you mean about the itching. I itched all over with Effexor, but it took me quite awhile to realize what was causing it. I also started breaking out everywhere. Finally I read an article in a magazine that said itching could be one of the side effects from Effexor. I have been off it for about 6 or 8 weeks and the itching has finally gone away and my skin has cleared up. I also feel better mentally even though I still have panic attacks which I never had before taking effexor. I have found that keeping busy helps. I read a lot and that's very relaxing for me. Please stay off the effexor before you have permanent damage from it, like liver disease and some of the other symptoms like people in these postings have. I believe it should be taken off the market and think someday soon it will be. It's a dangerous drug. Good Luck, Sammi B
