I'm new to this site. I've been on most of the serotonin reuptake inhibitors over the last 6+ years, the latest of which is Effexor XR. I've been on it for over 2-1/2 years, and it works well for me. I'm on 300 mg. at bedtime w/ low-dose seroquel that's supposed to potentiate the effects of the Effexor. The only side-effect I've noticed, until recently, is upper body sweating. And, maybe, "restless" legs. However, recently, I've noticed I have acne, especially around my mouth and scalp. Since I've also recently begun OTC glucosamine w/ chondroitin (~2 mo.s), I don't know what's going on. I know that acne w/ Effexor is "infrequent." I just don't know what to think or do. I'm sure my "shrink" will say Effexor isn't to blame; I'd rather hear from people who have been on it. What do you think?
