In reply to headaches with effexor please help, posted by shaz on August 31, 2004, at 19:50:13
Hi Shaz -
I also had headaches when I started Effexor. I also experienced changes in my vision which didn't help the headaches.
For me these faded out after about a month. None were bad enough for me to quit taking the Effexor.
As one of the previous poster suggested, you may wish to have your blood pressure checked since Effexor is known for causing an increase in BP...especially at higher doses.
Good Luck! I hope the Effexor works for you. (It's such a pain to go through the adjustments of a new medication then not have it work --- been there done that too many times.)
Have a good day and here's to hoping you don't have many more headaches!
