Is anyone else on Effexor? Please share your experience
I have just been switched over from Pristique to Effexor to help with hot flushes that has been quite severe since my hysterectomy 9 weeks ago. I am not allowed hormone replacement therapy (cancer was hormone positive) so my gynae oncologist reccomended the Effexor.
Are any of you ladies taking Effexor for menopause/depression? and what has been your experience with the drug?. I've been on the Effexor now for two days but I think it might be too soon to say exactly if it is reducing the hot flushes (google search claims women can experience upt to 54% decrease in hot flushes on Effexor).
Please share your experience with the drug, good or bad.
Thank you.
