Effexor XR 75mg and skin boils

This med really seems to have a grip on me (not in a good way)…i missed a day and a half (pharmacist was slow) and the pounding migraine was unreal - i almost called 911 as i thought i was having a brain blood clot or something.
Always drowsy - hit n miss sleeping - moody (er) …etc. BUT i am getting huge red blisters/boils on my arms and now one on my finger - dr said its staph infection - keeps giving me antibiotics - now they arent working anymore. He is sure its not from meds - but 48 years of life, ive never had skin blisters/boils until i have been on these meds.
I seem to get them every few weeks - i had the house fumigated as i thought maybe our new home had spiders…nothing…no changes. I also thought living in the country surrounded by forest could be an allergy?..nope - had allergy tests done. So…i am at a loss - may try weening off entirely and deal with the migraine for a few days.

it wld be a good idea to get off them…they just dnt work for everyone…i started getting off them by opening the pill n taking 3 balls out for a week n then every week i took out 2 more …eventually i just dumped half out stayed like that for a week then i only ended up taking the pill with just a few balls left..like 5…after a week of that i just stopped taking them…i had no brain zaps just a lil bit of brain floating feeling..it lasted a couple days n i feel so much better off them…n I was on them (75) mg for over 1 year…good luck…its so worth it

thanks - i opened my capsule and it has two balls in it. So ya, i may take one out every other day for a week or so, then break the other in half for another week or so.
Not a nice topic to mention, but..ive also experienced lack of climax during sex. I can last an extremely long time without orgasm, eventually i just give up. Good for her, not so much for me.
I think you’re right, it just doesnt work for everyone… i guess i will need to look for something else after i have weened off this poison.
thanks for the message. :slight_smile:
