After taking EffexorXR for 3 months, my doctor became alarmed because my liver enzymes were almost double what they should have been. I immediately shifted from 75mg to half that dosage and weaned myself off Effexor totally.
Then, after another visit to my doctor after having been off EffexorXR totally for 2 weeks, my liver enzymes returned to normal.
Be careful. Not everyone responds the same to this drug. I liked what it did for me, but had I not been to the doctor for a physical, I might never have known what was happening to my liver functions and could have caused serious damage.
