In reply to high blood pressure on effexor, posted by Jhall131 on March 25, 2004, at 17:22:35
> i am currently taking 75mgs of effexor 3 times a day. I am fairly new to this medication. I have never been on anything before. I am a 26 year old female. I have checked my blood pressure several times this past week and at different grocery stores and each time my bp was around 140/90, never any lower. The medication has helped so much, but i am now wondering if the meds are making my bp rise. Any suggestions? I do see psy. doc on wed. I also take 1mg of xanax at bedtime. Which by the time i get home from work my face starts to flush real bad and feels incredibly hot. I don't know if it is from xanax, effexor, bp, etc.

The Effexor is causing the rise of the blood pressure. Your doctor should have told you that, in my opinion. they should tell you about possible effects.Roland
