Hi Everyone,
I’m currently on Effexor and I have gotten a rash today on both my arms. It feels like a sunburn and I’m not sure if it’s the medicine or I got bit by something…has anyone experienced this???

Hi Em –
"It is important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits, to allow for changes in your dose and to help reduce any side effects.
Tell your doctor right away if you develop any allergic reactions, such as skin rash or hives, while taking venlafaxine."
Go see the doc Em … that shouldn’t be happening.

Keep us posted. That definitely sounds like something to jump on quick. I haven’t experienced that type of reaction with effexor.
I didn’t hear back from Dr. Hain’s office yet, but my rash has calmed down. It was weird. I woke up feeling bad and then the rash came on, but it’s better now.
