Hi Vanni,
I went to see a naturopath yesterday and she also believes it is the effexcor. Since I am only 24 I don't think I am getting the hives for the same reason as you. However if you look at the fine print of side effects of effexor there is a chance of having hives. I am going to begin to taper myself off effexor and hopefully the hives will begin to go away when the medication is out of my system. I do have a hard time to believe it's not the medication though, I have never had any health issues and I have never had an allergy in my life. The naturopath also said she has never heard of this but she says it takes months before you get a built up of this medication in your system. My body might just be telling me it has had enough. Anyways good luck with your hives and I'll give you an update if the hives begin to disappear. Wish me luck in coming off effexor...I know it's gonna be hard!
