In reply to EffXr plus Strattera plus Stress equals high BP, posted by KimberlyDi on September 22, 2003, at 10:38:16
Hi Kimberly, member me? I don't come here often. I was looking for BooksGirl and saw Your post. I'm currently decreasing effexor. I was at 300mgs and depression was minimal...TG. However one of the many side effects I had was increased blood pressure. I now take yet another med to offset a med....I take Lisinopril, 10 mgs day for high blood pressure. I'm down to 112.5 mgs of effexor with no significant side effects other than shooting pains like going out of my arms and face, but just a cpl days with each dosage drop. I had the sweats, lack of energy, trouble concentrating, memory loss, mood swings etc., but I swore on Effexor as far as "fixing" my depression. But my new neuro who says I may have had mini strokes, told me to go off effexor. And that's scary enough to say bye, bye to effexor. I also read some posts about people having ringing in the ear(s). Well I have that to add to my list of problems too. I now have tennitus plus migranes, which I never had before. Hope to hear from you.
Huggs,
Mercedes
