Hi, Scott
I am taking for more then a year, 75 mg. Doctors are not really interested to know what I feel. They continue suggesting that I should take.
I change already of doctor and he kept the medication. My question is:
is it possible that taking effexor I can find myself in a situation that I understand something that was not said or it is possible that the medicine affect my thought leading me to have false conclusion?
Do you know or someone know about it?
Which other drug do not affect the concentration?thanks ann

However, I think I remember some people complain that this "brain fog" had persisted with them. Individuals react differently to any one medication. I wouldn't know what to recommend to you other than continuing to work with your doctor and make decisions as you go. It might disappear. It might not. There are a bunch of other drugs to choose from.
