In reply to help -- flush on new meds, mechanism?, serotonin?, posted by Katekite on April 9, 2002, at 20:40:18
I figured it was just me. I've had similar experiences
but more limited. I've been on 150mg Effexor XR for
2 years and get terrible hot flashes and flushed feeling.
However, the do go away within a short period of time
(hours). However, the neurontin (at 300 mg am&pm) made
me terrible flushed, headaches, neck pain, flu-like
symptoms. Could only handle it 4 days and went back
to 300 mg pm. Feel amazingly better now, but only bc
I take it with ambien at night so I'm knocked out before
any of the side effects kick in. If I take it early (w/o
ambien) I get the same effects on this 300mg dose.Don't know what it is, but glad to hear I'm not crazy
(which is what my husband insists!). I'd be interested
in anyone's thoughts as this worries me.Thanks!
