I'm having terrible hot flashes but that seems small compared the side effects I'm reading about. I also went on Ritalin at the same time as my last chemo (TCH #4) really kicked me in the butt and working is/was getting very hard and I have a position where I have to be very focused. I think I can live with the hot flahes, because the Effexor is making me tired and nauseas. I need help with fatique more than dry clothes and I can handle tossing off my hat/scarf/wig and go bald if need be.

Any experience with Effexor or Ritalin?
