side effects over time on effexor

effects bad · Guest

i have been on effexor for 3 years.dosage has finally been correct for me. too many people are being put on too high of dosages of effexor and my physic doctor said dosage should do with the persons size........i always seem to be hot and sweating but i can live with that.......the weight gain is driving me crazy ...have gained 70 pounds and there is no way to loose the weight while on any anti depressants......told this by several doctors...I hate the weight on but right now it's better than being in that dark deep hole of depression.......one major side affect i have started to have is aches and pains in my legs, butt and back.....some morning it takes me a while to be able to get out of bed..also the pads of my feet hurt pretty much all the time........I am bruising very easily and went to see my family doctor and it's another bad side effect to effexor......he said that this will not hurt my heart but I still question what is happening......my body from rubbing my pains is now black and blue and the rest of my skin looks like red marks just under my skin ......I am going to go see a specialist about this because this is a little scary for me......
anyone else have any of these symptoms??
