Hi KDI,
Add me to the Effexor collapse. (read my note to Lioness) I too, developed high blood pressure which caused migranes and with the (attacks) I get, it just was not a good thing for me to continue on effexor. I was on 300mgs XR for quite some time, months anyway, can't remember. I just heard on the radio today a commercial re: Effexor and just heard the last part, "Effexor may increase blood pressure so check with your dr......". Eeee Gaaaad, how long before they put Effexor causes Tennitus, vision problems, migranes...etc etc.
I loved this drug cause it lifted my depression and as I said in my previous note, I became a "happy" Stupid Idiot. Is that what you mean by ADD? Cause I also have the memory problems, lack of concentration, comprehension problems..etc. Well I explained it all in my long note to Lioness.
Hope things get better for you and I'd like to hear from you.
Mercedes
