Hi - I don't know if this applies to effexor, but I'm on an antibiotic - levaquin - that increases the effects of caffeine. I didn't know that and last night, my heart was pounding out of my chest.
I read up on it this morning and realized that was the cause. I had a latte and 2 large mugs of tea yesterday. Today I'm fine.
My DS is on Luvox, and I was told that it also increases the effects of caffeine. If you drink a lot of caffeine, you may want to cut it out to see if that helps.
Good luck!
