In reply to Effexor and shortness of breath, posted by bigcat on December 2, 2005, at 19:37:14
I hate to say this, but I've had the "shortness of breath" problem on a number of different drugs through the recent years. If I had to guess, I'd say that for me it has something to do with norepinephrine stimulation. I got it on the stimulants: Ritalin, Provigil, etc, and I got it on Welbutrin with my most recent go 'round. It became quite unpleasant and no one was ever able to tell me what was going on. I never got any relief from it, but ironically, these drugs helped my mood and motivation like nothing else. The sad thing is, I took Effexor, and Anafranil before these problems, and never got any breathing problems with them. I dunno, maybe my body is degenerating.
I think I know exactly how you feel with that breathing problem though.
