Effexor and kidney stones

Posted by wendyw @wendyw, Nov 5, 2017

My son has been on Effexor for 2-3 years and during that time has developed calcium kidney stones so severe he has lithotripsys every 8 weeks. None if his doctors have ever linked the two but we have just read an FDA report that says up to 26% of males his age will develop kidney stones on Effexor. Please let me kniw your experiences, esoecially if ceasing the drug also stopped the formation of stones.

I’ve been on Venlafaxine for nearly 4 years and weirdly a year in I had bladder pains and then went to hospital and had 2 kidney stones and I’ve had bladder pain/stones since but funny having found this post that it could be related - is your son still on these
