Re: On 225mg Effexor really bad itching skin
I've been on 150mg for 4/5 years now and get pretty bad itching sensations which are worse at night. I blamed my pain med for causing it but maybe it's linked to Ven. I did increase to 225mg for a while but it never helped so went back down to 150mg. Noradrenaline re-uptake supposedly increases at around the 150mg mark so it would make sense for side effects to increase at higher doses.
The "paresthesia" mentioned could include itching but is mainly related to tingling, prickling and pins and needles sensations which I get only rarely.
