Hi all, sorry if this has been posted somewhere already, I’m new to the subreddit, but I just wanted spread this warning. If you are on Effexor, generic name venlafaxine, and you are dealing with urinary incontinence, there is a strong likelihood that it’s the drug. 
It’s not a well researched or talked about side effect but more and more people are coming forward with this issue. I spent a hellish year, wasting money on doctors, trying to figure out what was causing me to suddenly be unable to hold my urine, because both my psychiatrist and pharmacist said it couldn’t be the medication; except that it absolutely was and as soon as I came off of it I could go out in public again with only my agoraphobia to fear and not the possibility that I might literally piss myself. TL;DR: Effexor = incontinence.
