my personal experience: i was on effexor 300mg and suddenly after having great results started suffering severe exhaustion. my doc tried me on everything including ritalin to deal with the lethagy. i used to sweat alot and it is very hot where i live.
when i took my body temperature, by chance, i found that it was raised to b/t 99-101 degrees celcius for 3 months. especially when i had been out in the heat. finally i had to comeoff the effexor. my physician suspected TB due to low grade fever and exhaustion. Even malaria, hep B etc. no one thought of effexor. but i read in a book that all SSRI's mess with your bodys temperature control mechanism.
