Venlafaxine side effects with alcohol
Common Questions and Answers about Venlafaxine side effects with alcohol

have u taken this med in the evening at all?
I tried Effexor for only three days when it was given to me to treat migraines and I couldn't tolerate the side effects. Don't remember now what all they were- just that it was intolerable for me. It wasn't given to me for POTS- it was before I was diagnosed with POTS I tried it.
I am 33 yrs old and after having my first child 4 years ago I have been on Venlofaxine anti depressants. however, I am unsure if this symptom belongs to the effects of the drug. I occasionally get a feeling of numbness, my eyesight is slightly blurred and I experience numbness in my fingertips and lips. I have difficulty concentrating during these spells and find it difficult to remember simple words. My speach can be effected and a dizzy like sensation sweeps over me.
bd and had a rough time with sweats and feeling freezing along with nervous system side effects. My GP prescribed me Duloxitine 20mgs. a couple of weeks ago but they didn't appear to be making any difference so I stopped them a week ago. My sister has depression and takes Amitriptylline with good effect. Do you think I ought to request the same from my GP?
adverse effects related to effexor(venlafaxine) are nausea,somnolence,sweating dizziness,anxiety,sexual disturbances and hypertension
Dear Andy, so you stopped this med. right? Does anyone know?
I haven't looked up this med yet, you had trouble w side effects?
Are you on other medication? NAMI has support groups.
During all of this time I have been for the most part stable. missing a dose has immediate side effects which I actually appreciated because it would remind me to take the drug.
Last week I began a new bottle. It took me SEVEN days to figure out what was going on. For the first time in my life, I got a bad batch of drugs.
The extended-release capsule is usually taken once daily in the morning or evening with food. Take venlafaxine at around the same time(s) every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take venlafaxine exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often or for a longer period of time than prescribed by your doctor.
Hi there.
Effexor or Venlafaxine is an effective drug to control menopausal symptoms such as the hot flashes and mood swings. Though you are correct that this can have side effects similar to what she's experiencing now, these side effects are not that common and I believe the benefit that she can derive from this drug far outweighs the potential risk of side effects.
Also, I believe that putting her on Effexor is only a temporary measure so as just to control the present symptoms.
Even new therapists have told me it is known for having bad side effects. The problem, really, is that its about the ******* money to some of these 'doctors.' They get paid by pharmaceutical companies to push certain medications. Effexor, or Venlafaxine is supposed to be for both anxiety and depression. For me, I'll say it did help with anxiety, but did absolutely nothing for depression, and as I said before it made me sweat like crazy. And withdrawal was awful.
I had to take an MAO inhibitor for depression, and my blood pressure went up due to medication side effects -- or at least, I thought it was due to medication side effects. The blood pressure did not go back down when the medication was discontinued. My psychiatrist told me, at the time, that the people whose blood pressure does not go back down tend to be people who have other predisposing factors for hypertension.
Celexa came first, and when the patent ran out, they played with the structure, took some things out, and made Lexapro. Reportedly it has fewer side effects, but who knows if that's really true? I found Celexa easier to take myself, so it just goes to show. But the core of both drugs is the same. For me, the one drug that really put on the weight was Paxil. For others, it's different.
I too am on 175 - 200mg of Zoloft and I admit when first starting the medication I was feeling quite dizzy and nauseated. Dosage started at 50mg, then after a week increased, and every week increased until I reached 175mg. In the past my doctor has had me on Celexa and Effexor but Zoloft seems to work the best, for me that is. Everyone is different. I waver between 175 - 200mg depending on the kind of day I'm having.
I managed to stop talking VENLAFAXINE after tapering off very gradually with the support of my GP. I was on 150mg for 14 years and had tried several times to come off this antidepressant, without success. VENLAFAXINE really helped my depression and anxiety, however it has some nasty side effects and is VERY difficult to get off. Although I've been off the drug for a couple of months, I still feel pretty rough most days.
First of I just want to say thank you to any one in advance who may leave a response to this post. I've been struggling with bad depression and I keep cycling fro one medication to another, not because the aren't working but, because I seem to really struggle with the physical side effects, The main problems are of course drowsiness, sexual dis-function, and constipation.
