In reply to Bruising , bleeding more on Effexor+stimulants Q? » wendi, posted by gldngodess on August 1, 2001, at 14:54:06
> > >I weigh about 125 and am 5'4". I've lost close to 10 pounds since I started taking effixor. I am more pale than I was when I started taking effexor. I am normally olive complected but now I'm just white so I think the effexor did change something. Maybe taking an iron supplement will help. I don't know, what do you think?
I was just bumped up to 150 mg. of effexor and I have been getting a lot of bruises.

> When you bruise easy that means your blood has a coagulation problem. I had my lips lightly tattoed with the "permanant makeup", to put some color in them so I did not look so pale, and ugly...and my lips bled and bled,that the color only stayed in for a week or so. The lady was a professional in her field and asked me if I drank much alcohol, I said,"hell,I hate alcohol". She insisted the only people that really bleed alot are the ones who drink and she never saw anyone bleed so much. $450.00 gone.
> I guess thank God I did not have any major surgery, I would of bled to death, who knows?
> I am taking 300mgs. Ithink I want to go up to 375, because I am the type the more speedy the drug the calmer I am.
> I took asthma medicine that said if it makes you feel nervous or jittery discontinue use, and it would always do the oposite and knock me out. The same with Sudafed and the similar.
> Anyone have that experience?
