Has Effexor Increased Your Migraines?

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
Holland, MI

Hi. I started taking 37.5mg effexor XR once per day on Jan 9, then increased to twice per day Feb 11. Frequency of migraines increased - thank God intensity has not increased! Has anyone experienced increased migraines while taking effexor XR? If so, is this a side effect that went away? Thank you!
