> > i am currently taking 75mgs of effexor 3 times a day. I am fairly new to this medication. I have never been on anything before. I am a 26 year old female. I have checked my blood pressure several times this past week and at different grocery stores and each time my bp was around 140/90, never any lower. The medication has helped so much, but i am now wondering if the meds are making my bp rise. Any suggestions? I do see psy. doc on wed. I also take 1mg of xanax at bedtime. Which by the time i get home from work my face starts to flush real bad and feels incredibly hot. I don't know if it is from xanax, effexor, bp, etc.

Effexor XL at 150mg per day caused my blood pressure to go from the normal 120 over 80 to 165 over 119. Elevated BP should be reported to yr doctor. I am now being titrated off effexor to wellbutrin. As soon as I dropped the effexor dosage the BP returned to normal. If not kept under control could lead to a stroke. Very important.
