Maxvt. My pcp had me on venlafaxin also for the hots. Do you have any side effects? I stopped talking it. I had a suprapubic catheter and the meds really messed with my bladder spasms. Catheter now gone wondering if I should try again. Thank you for input

In early May ‘22, I had the one Lupron shot, a 3-month one.

Shortly after, the hot flashes began ans I soon switched my AD meds to Venlafaxine and the hot flashes subsided.

I had no more Lupron shots.

Aug 23, ‘22, I had the RALP and the catheter inserted. I had two bladder spasms one afternoon about 6 days later. I was told this was not unexpected. The catheter was removed a few days later, with no ill effects.

I have not noticed any side effects from the Venlafaxine and I continue to take it as my AD medication.

Best of luck to you!
