In reply to Effexor and advil?, posted by mstar on May 8, 2001, at 15:38:54
MS,
I experienced tinnitus, heart palpitations, hot flashes when I took Advil a long time ago when I was on Effexor. I called my doctor, and she said ibuprofen can do that, as well as antihistamines. Therefore, she recommended Tylenol for pain relief, and nasal spray for colds. I have since then taken some Advil once in a while (lower than 600 mg, though) because Advil works better than Tylenol for me.
Irene> I take very few over the counter medications but I have a terrible back ache and I need to take some ibuprofen. I took 600 mg this morning (with food) and then 2 hours later my 150 mg effexor (again with food, I hate that eating thing, it's such an annoyance ;). I got several effects, an upset stomach, hot flashes and sweating and fatigue.
