Question about Effexor XR

My older pdoc put me back on Effexor right before he left his practice. I haven't found a new pdoc yet due to insurance issues. Anyway, I've been experiencing mouth sores on the inside of my cheeks. It's been a long time since I was on this med and I can't remember if it caused this problem before.


Has anyone else gotten mouth sores from Effexor? Or do you think it's from something else.


Thanks,

Hey Brandi...I was on Effexor and I never got mouth sores...but I did have horrible withdrawal from it...so be careful if you go off it!

Hugs,

Ok maybe it's from one of the other meds. But I appreciate you telling me about your experience. I do remember it being hard to get off the Effexor a couple years. I really do hate starting and stopping new meds.


Thanks again,
