Will Effexor Cause Loss Of Sleep?

I am on effexor 150 mg and suffer from RLS and can t sleep, is this a side effect and how long will it last. I was on 75mg 13 years and is now on 150mg for the last week. I had a kidney cancer tumour removed this year May and wonder if the effexor didn t cause it.

Hello,

It is unlikely to be related to Effexor. Other causes must be ruled out. Anxiety and stress can be a cause. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
