Does a low dose of Effexor cause high blood sugar level?
Patient: Hi, I was wondering if a low dose of Effexor (37.5 mg ) can raise your blood sugar? I have been on it for 17 years since I lost my son. I ve been taking the lowest dose for at least 13 years and I usually skip a day or 2 during the week. It is Effexor XR. Tried 6 or 7 times to get off, withdrawal side effects are horrible. Thanks, Charlie Doctor: HelloEffexor can cause rise in blood pressure sometime. But it does not cause increase in blood sugar levels.Consult your doctor to see if it is diabetes.Thanks.
