This is my first time to this site, and it is interesting to read all of the different effects people have on Effexor. I was on Paxil years ago and with in two years I gained 65 pounds my dr thought it was time for a change and put me on Effexor, this was better with fewer side affects but of course I didn't lose any weight. I decided to taper off of of it to see if I can function without it and give my body a "break". I also have high blood pressure and was told that Effexor could worsen this. My symptoms of my panic disorder has returned and I was recently put back on. I have experienced an evening of severe panic attacks, the kind that send you to the ER thinking that you are having a heart attack, and was concerned that this is going to continue with this medication.
Has anyone experienced this before?? Please let me know it would help to know someone else has experienced the same thing.
