I have been taking Effexor since March 25. For the first week I was on 37.5mg and then up to 75mg. I noticed today (I never really noticed it before) when I took off my shirt that I have red itchy bumps on my chest, breasts and upper belly. Also under one breast I have a red splotchy patch but that could be a heat rash. It all could be a heat rash, who knows since I have had increased sweating since I started. I have not had any difficulty breathing or swelling so I don't think it's an allergic reaction unless it's minor. I also noticed a day or so ago I had a rash of red bumps all over the underside of my neck.
Thoughts? Do you think this could be from the Effexor, heat rash or something else?
As a side note, had my first T appt this morning and he has increased my dosage of Effexor to 150mg starting tomorrow to see if it fixes my anxiety.
