Effexor can cause an increase in BP. The thing is you have been on Effexor for 5 years and all of a sudden your BP goes up. Either you just increased your dosage or you are experiencing other physical problems. If high BP does not run in your family, then could it be that you do not eat right, are overweight and do not exercise regularly? High BP is only seen with very high doses of above 300 mg. I would check with your GP to access other possible causes other then Effexor. Good luck!
