I do not think an increase in BP is the primary reason for stopping Effexor. For sure, BP should be monitored, esp. while on this drug, as an increase is not an uncommon response. MY BP did not change much, and I too, tend to be on the low side. I'm also an athlete.
I think we have to be careful here to draw sweeping conclusions, one way or the other, based on our own, unique personal experience. What we do know, as a common problem for many people, is that withdrawal is more severe with this drug than with many others, and I reiterate, we know this because a LOT of people are getting off of it.
