I was on effexor for about two months. found it to be very effective for depression. but since starting it I have had severe palpatations. My doctor took me off of it a month ago and the palpations are still terrible. I have never ever had any trouble with my heart. Now I am miserable all the time. Chest pain and pressure are a constant. My doctor won't say the effexor is the couse but he was quick to take me off of it. This is the only thing that could have caused it. I have had a number of test. I have even been hospitalized for the condition. I also have nearly incapitating headaches. These come with the palpatations and both last anywhere from ten minutes to 12 or 14 hours. I am scared. Have I done permanent damage to my heart. The medicine has got to be out of my system by now. Anyone else had the same experience? Talk to me.
