Hi Morgan. It only happens when I'm on the Effexor, and even my dermatologist is stumped. Now, I just went to my fam doc yesterday and his theory is: A common side effect is sweating, he thinks that my hands and feet are reacting to the extra sweat, which may or may not be occuring. I notice my feet are sweaty, but not my hands. Herpes would appear even if I were not on this drug, correct? I went off Effexor for threee months and they went away, then they came right back w/in a week when I stared back on. They itch like crazy, then when the skin is gone, they burn and take forever to heal. I will look into the herpes zoster. My doc gave me a prescription for an antihistamine and a cream (It was just yesterday, didn't get the drugs yet). Thanks for your help.
