Q: ineraction of effexor xl 225mg with nurofen express 324mg?

 

Hi, Ive been on effexor 225mg for sometime now, with few side effects. I am also asthmatic. However, yesterday, I took one nurofen express 324mg tablet for pain relief, and really wish I hadn't! I have had dizziness, severe joint pain throughout my body, awful headache and high fever throughout the night. This morning I feel completely washed out and have a dull ache in the top left hand side of my head. Are these side effects known as an interaction between the drugs I am taking? I won't be taking them together again that's for sure as it has really scared me. Hayley

Hayley, you really need to call your doctor and report what happened.  We aren't medical professionals.  I have heard of someone taking both of these drugs, but that doesn't mean it's okay for everyone.  Were these two drugs prescribed by different doctors?  It's possible you had a side effect from it, but it may be something else like the flu.  Please do at least call your doctor's office and talk to someone there about it.

 

Thank you for your question, hope you're soon feeling better.
