Yeah, I honestly don't think that Effexor helps the immune system at all either. I only said that to make a point that the poster couldn't deduce from a sickness experienced when no longer on Effexor, that Effexor had weakened his/her immune system. I was just saying that I thought the timing of the sickness, if anything, would suggest the opposite.
> It's difficult to say whether it actually "helped," your immune system. I would doubt it very seriously, as I have an autoimmune disorder and was worse while taking effexor. While I would rule out nothing when talking about effexor, odds would favor that this is simply the most "sick," time of the year, and all of these nasty sinus, lung, tummy, throat viruses are crawling everywhere. Get well soon!
