How Long After Stopping Effexor XR Does Blood Pressure Normalize?
hi, i just started my first day without effexor XR. My blood pressure has been high and my doctor thought it might be related to the pills., I have been on it for 9 months and feel great except for some muscle twitching and high blood pressure. How long after stopping should I expect my blood pressure to go down if hypertension is due the the medication?
