What are the side effects of taking Effexor during heat waves?
If somone was on anti-depressants and there’s extreme heat alert & smog outside, should the person stay in cool places? What are some of the best suggestions for someone who is on Effexor? Kind replies please, and thanks! Uuuuh I had no idea that Effexor can cause a lot of sweats?….Waiting for more comments from other folks… A: One of the side effects of Effexor is sweating. Be sure to drink plenty of water, try not to get over exerted, don’t drink tea, caffeinated sodas or coffee, as these are diuretics, you are trying to avoid becoming dehydrated. If you are sweating a lot you could be depleting you potassium, eat a banana or use a potassium supplement. During a extreme heat alert, everyone needs to be careful, especially those on medications such as antidepressants, diuretics and blood pressure meds.
