A member asked:
Began experiencing benign-prostatic-hyperplasia symptoms about time started effexor (venlafaxine). worse as dose increased (150 mg now). side-effect or coincidence?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Urinary symptoms are not typical side effects of effexor (venlafaxine). It is possible that the symptoms that concern you may be related to Effexor (venlafaxine) but obstructive and irritative voiding symptoms are not common side effects of this drug.
