Hi Noa

Thank you so much for taking the time and trouble to answer each SE individually and for all the links on hypothyroidism.

I had been thinking about the above for a while and will mention it to my pdoc. Finally, I am seeing her tomorrow.

I have revisited the list and changed one or two small details as well as added a few. I now have 21 (some known, others suspected) SE's.

I underwent a laparoscopy last year for mentsrual issues. They largely cleared up after that. I have noticed that my period is very much heavier since Effexor but that the PMS is much much better. After that, my cycle is relatively regular and problem free.

The leaking eye thing was isolated. (I think to the sores in my nose blocking something). It hasn't reoccured and I updated this to the problem vision (blurring etc) that I experience.

The distended abdomen is from both weight gain and AD. The rest of me is growing steadily as well.
I too, have read that Effexor causes weight gain around the stomach area. I think mine is a bit of both.

I suspect a sleeping disorder. I had severe insomnia about 4 years ago and have never really slept "normally" again.

I have added frequent headaches to my list. They are not severe, just frequent.
Sweating. At higher doses, I used to sweat profusely, especially on my head.

"Orthostatic hypotension" I used to have this quite frequently even before Effexor, so never thought to add it as a SE.

Acne - phew - one I don't have.

Sexual SEs - haven't mentioned it as a SE as I seem to be ok. I don't orgasm but then never really used to anyway. I know I would rather just do without, but have not inflicted this on my husband.

Once again Noa, thank you for all your input. It helps to be able to compare and identify with other SE's.

Regards
Sabrina
