I was on effexor xr for 3 mnths. I had severe bruising from little things like lightly bumping into tables, etc. So my doc did a little research, contacting the company that makes effexor, and found out this.. One in a hundred people experience the bruising. It's not because the effexor depletes the blood plateletts, but it mutates and damages them. According to the company and my own experience, the bruising should stop after about 3 months after you stop the effexor xr. Another strange thing.. Im now trying effexor again, but not xr.. No bruising so far..
