> My allergies started in my teens, after a flu shot which coincided with the worst sore throat and sinus cold I ever had. But for the past several years on effexor, I do believe it has become a past issue for me.
Effexor has no anti-allergy effects, I wish it did as I take it. Quite common in Allergy is that the earlier in life the onset, the greater possibility of out growing them. Mine started at 17-18 and I am stuck with them.
The cause of this is hard to say because around the same time I stopped using oral meds for my sinus problem and instead started using "flonase" a nasal spray. I haven't had to use it constantly probably less than a dozen times. So could the AD's have been a help? Loss of sense of smell? Or the nasal spray? Or did I just "out-grow" it?
