In reply to Why does Effexor incease blood pressure??, posted by Dauphine on May 4, 2004, at 16:32:17
All I can say it - everyone is different. I was doing really well on 150mg effexor and then my blood pressure went through the roof. (165 over 115) We cut back, added wellbutrin to the mix, and it ended up that we increased the effexor slightly to get the benefit. Now on 112.5mg of the long acting stuff. I bought a wrist cuff monitor (because there are no pharmacies close by where I could do this) so I can check the BP myself. It has been the best AD for me so far, so I am glad I could get the benefits of it eventually. So what if I cried my eyes out at work for 10 days????
When it was really high, I would feel my heart beat in my ears when I layed (lied? darn that word!!) down.
