Really bad Effexor night

Posted by saw on October 11, 2004, at 3:41:19

Last night was one of the worst nights so far. I know sweating, and cold sweats are a common side effect.

I shivered through the night but my whole body statyed quite wet with sweat.

It was just horrible.

Hi Sabrina,

Most of Effexor & SSRI's are caused by excess stimulation of serotonin type 2A receptors (5-HT2A). Adding another drug that blocks these receptors eliminates these side effects(Night sweats, Insomnia, Anxiety & Anorgasmia). Such drugs are Remeron, Trazodone, most of the TCA's & most of the AP's. If you have the nausea side effect, Remeron is especially good as it blocks 5-HT3 receptors too.

Cheers,
Paul.
