When I took regular effexor, I had terrible sweating, especially from my head. It was very uncomfortable.
It was worse at higher doses, for me.
On effexor xr, I do not experience this, I don't know why, but am glad.
Re: acne: I am glad you are both bringing this up, because I have bad acne rosacea, and have been attributing it (perhaps correctly) to other medical issues---hypothyroid, insulin resistance, etc. But it could also be from the effexor, I guess. Or perhaps a combo of two or more of these.
I just consulted a new gynocologist who prescribe low dose birth control pills to address irregular menstruation problems, but she said that there is new research showing that women with insulin resistance, irregular periods, polycystic ovary syndrome (which has been ruled out for me but I fit the profile very closely), benefit from it, and it helps to clear up the acne that often goes along with such profiles.
I'll let you know if my acne gets better.
