I just started taking effexor (37.5) a couple of days ago. My psych suggested I have my blood pressure taken so we'd have a baseline for future. My blood pressure was elevated (140/90 as compared to my usual 120/80). The elevation could be caused by stress or other factors. I went through the posts and most blood pressure problems seem to have occurred with higher dosages and more time, although I did find one post about a bp skyrocketing after one dose. the official literature only associates bp elevation with high dosages. However, I seem to be very sensitive to most meds and often have atypical reactions. I'm going off the effexor now to see what happens to my bp. Any wisdom out there?
Thanks,
AJ
