I'd say my migranes (had them since I was 12) became much worse on the Effexor. What really helped was Extra-Strength Midol ... I don't know why but when a Tylenol won't work, Midol (the extra strength PMS version) always kills the migrane

>I don't think it's a good thing, I would try a different antidepressant. Did you have many migraines before starting Effexor?

I have the awful migranes too - worse at 75mg than at 37.5mg - i know it from the medicine because i have never had them before... they really stink.
