> Stay away from Effexor. It's a bad one. My Dr. switched me to Lexapro yesterday. Can anyone give me a scoop on what to expect?
The side effects I experience on Effexor include, but are not limited to:
Blurred vision
vivid nightmares
2-4 sweet outbreaks a day
easy bruising
vaginitis
severe joint pain (hip and neck)
acne
change in menstral cycle
SEVERE constipation
I'm 22 days with Lexapro and continuing it to give it a chance, trying to be patient. I may try and add an SNRI such as Strattera, instead of trying Effexor which is only one claiming to effect both serotonin and norepinephrine.
