Does Effexor Cause Severe Fatigue?



Yes, it can!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Effexor has as side effect dizziness, fatigue, body weakness, among others. This fits clearly with your symptoms. This is often more pronounced at the beginning and gradually fades with continued use. Other options are only considered if thee are so severe and there are no signs of improvement after a while. In my practice, I always review this after 4weeks. I will call on you to exercise patience for at least 4weeks after the start of this treatment to see if the side effects cannot be tolerated. If they are however incapacitating at this time, we must pause and consider other options.
I hope to hear from you for continued exchanges. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.


YOu are concerned and not crazy!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
It is understandable to be alert about a potential concerning diagnosis such as cancer. Because your doctors have cleared you, you are good and there is no reason to get worried about this. You are fine. Do not allow thoughts about a disease condition you do not have to make you sick.
I wish you well.
