> Can anyone shed any light on effexor raising BP? It seems to have been doing that to me for the past 3 mos or so; have been taking 75 mg for about 4 to 5 mos. Even new bp meds not really helping, but missing a dose of Eff. seems to help. Can anyone help?
Need to talk to your doc about maybe changing it to something else. I am not hypertensive, but when I was taking just 25/mg day, my BP went from a pre-effexor 120/78 > 145/85. Also, if you are drinking a lot of caffeinated beverages that can contribute to that.
