My dr prescribed Effexor for my hot flashes and night sweats (menopausal). I was weaned from HRT last year and the aforementioned have gotten steadily worse in that time. I started the 37.5 mg four days ago. I have three more of them, then go to 75 mg. I've been tired a lot and a bit lethargic, but accept that as "this too shall pass". I am also taking 50mg Tramadol 2x a day for back pain and .5 mg of Clonapin at night for leg cramps. The Clonapin helps me sleep. I wonder if the Tramadol interacts with the big 'E'.
A bit of an appetite loss, but I will embrace that! I'm 58 years old. Must admit some of the postings have scared me. (Oh, I was taking St. John's Wort for mild depression, and I've quit that when I began the Effexor.) Any comments?
