I was taking 75mg of effexor antidepressant which caused high heart rate and shortness of breath. what is a good replacement that won't cause these types of side effects?

Please talk to the doctor who prescribed this medication as s/he knows more about your health. There are alternative medications. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Drink more water. Wish you good health!
