Hi Nightowl,
Just be aware that depression, anxiety, blood pressure problems, heart rate issues, and many other illness can be attributed, at least partially, to the deregulation of norepinephrine production and function in the body, so that is probably the reason for it with antidepressants such as the effexor. Do a google search on what norepinephrine does and you'll better understand.

Hi Kaismama,
Thank you for that explanation. I do have adrenal insufficiency, along with other issues, so maybe Effexor will help level things out.
