In reply to Effexor XR and stimulants and BP, posted by Sara T. on April 14, 2000, at 21:33:59
Five years ago I started taking Effexor 150/mg/day. At the time I was still using meth-amphetamine and had a couple of very serious episodes of elavated BP to the point I thought I was going to have a stroke. I believe it was an interaction between amphetimine and Effexor. This was street meth. at very high doses though.
I've been clean since then and took Effexor for three years with a moderate increase in BP.
I would get a BP arm band thing and monitor it yourself closely.
