Wow! i can't believe I found this thread.
I've been taking 75mg of Effexor XR for about a year for migraine and it has been very effective. Five days ago, my neurologist had me switch directly to 10mg of Lexapro because I told her my cholesterol had shot up 25% over the past year.
I've now had migraines for the past 3 days, including a monster that I am just coming out of.
Do you think it's too late to try a slower transition?
Have any of you had an increase in cholesterol on the Effexor?
Thanks
