effexor prostate

Answered by a doctor

I have trouble with my prostate since I am on Effexor XR 37.5 for 5 months. Basically the drug worked well for me, so I am not sure if there is a possible connection. What are effexor side effects? Is it possible that prostate pain is side effect of the drug? After all this is antidepressant.
