Both, I'd bet.

The good news about the hot flashes, nausea, and other weirdness that can hit you when you first start Effexor is that it goes away! I had horrible hot flashes and night sweats on it for the first week or so -- enough that I almost thought i was hitting menopause early! It didn't last long, though, just a week or so of adjustment.

Good luck to you. Effexor can be a very good medication, and I hope it treats you well.
