In reply to Effexor Side Effect: Fluttering, posted by Tancred62 on March 12, 2004, at 9:04:49
> I've been on Effexor for 2 months now, and recently I've noticed a strange side effect (I assume). When I'm in that semi-sleep state just before I wake up, I notice a sensory "fluttering" effect that affects my vision, heart, skin, etc. It's hard to describe, but it's like a rapid vibrating of all my senses, except for smell; that would be weird, a vibrating sense of smell. Anyway, I wonder if anyone else has been "fluttering."
Occasionally it effects my vision slighty. Curtains or towels that are bunched up to form light & shaded parts sometimes look flickery to me. I've also had numb sensations in both forearms, feels like local anesthetic. I haven't had a fluutering heart, that would bother me.
Cheers,
Panda.
