Does A Low Dose Of Effexor Cause High Blood Sugar Level?

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

Effexor 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.
