Dear M.P.,

Product information reveals that Effexor may infrequently cause dermatological side effects including rash, herpes simplex, and herpes zoster.This has been reported, but is extremely rare.

I would advise notifying your physician if you have any recent history of chicken pox or any type of herpes.

Sincerely,

HFHS MD - RG

Herpes has no relation to Effexor.  It is a viral sexually-transmitted illness.
