I'm not sure about that..but I will say that my period has been late every month. It's like my cycle has gotten longer. I have been on bc pills for years (also have a whole endometriosis and ovarian cyst thing..plus low blood sugar...my endocrine system is just whacked!) But I used to always take my last active pill (21st day) on a Saturday and on Tuesday like clockwork it would start. Now it might be Friday or SAturday.. sometimes even the following Tuesday! I had noticed this but hadn't linked it to the Effexor until you mentioned it....but it could be since I'm just realizing this has been a pattern over the last several months. Can't remember when exactly it started...I've been on E since last Nov. ...gradually titrated up to 150 by about Feb. Somewhere around May I backed myself down to 75 (kept forgettting AM dose and then noticed I still felt good so just kept it at 75) Increased back to 150 in Aug and then 225 in late SEpt/early Oct. Don't remember when exactly over the past several months that the menstrual irregularities started.
BTW..anyone else have concommitant other endocrine system stuff? I've always wondered if all of it (endo, LBS, etc) is related.
