> Andre, thanks for the reply. I am an athlete....masters swimmer, biker and weight lifter (not heavy weights). I am not overweight. I eat balanced meals. That's why with no family history and being in fairly good physical shape, this high BP thing is baffling.

Russ--Andre is right; it's not likely that Effexor raised your BP only after 5 years. High BP is diagnosed only after 3 readings higher than 140/90. A single, sudden elevation can be caused by dehydration , higher salt intake, anxiety or a host of other causes (many transient) too numerous to mention.
Best wishes--medlib
