In reply to gals-effexor and periods..., posted by ants on December 15, 2004, at 13:40:13
Could well be the Effexor. When I was on Effexor, I was having a period every 2 - 3 weeks, and I had always been very regular at 28 or 29 days. I also developed night sweats. Both my gp and the pdoc thought I was probably going into menopause (I am only in my early 40s). Once I stopped the Effexor, everything has regularized again. There is another thread up above on this very issue (I think it is called Effexor (or ADs) and hormones).

> i know-ew, but i think since going on effexor (75mg) my periods have gotten a lot heavier. I am on ortho and so they are usually very light, but for the past two months or so, it seems to be heavier. Could the effexor be to blame? I don't usually pay very good attention to such things since i am usually "like clockwork"...
