Sensation Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I have had aching head pain since friday and I don't know why. I took aleve but when I move my head it hurts even more. Someone is mowing the lawn and it irritates it too. I am sitting here with earplugs and my hoodie on in the dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velvet Elvis Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Headache is the most common reported side effect of effexor. 25% according to rxlist (which is the same as the PDR) I'm not going to tell you to quit taking it. Only your docter can do that. I can tell you that discontinuation side effects will likely be minimal at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loon-A-TiK Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 effexor gave me migraines and made me throw up. i got off of it really fast, but not before i lost a good 20lbs just looking at the bottle. i was a size 0/1 when i quit taking the stuff. it hurt my body badly.

Sensation Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 Hi gang, I ended up going to the Giant grocery store and bought some excedrin sinus headache (acetaminophen and phenylephrine hcl), that did the trick. I am guessing it was because the weather has changed and my sinus acted up. I will see next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
