For Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder "Works great for my PMDD, but I experience excessive sweating and the yawns. Worth it, though. Slightly better than the SSRIs (Zoloft, Prozac) I've taken for the anxiety/irritability piece."

For Hot Flashes "Effexor XR has been very helpful. The only side effects I've noticed are an occasional, slight feeling of dizziness and increased sweating. The benefits greatly outweigh the side effects."
