"I am about 5 weeks pregnant and I am taking Effexor for fibromyalgia. Should I stop taking it?"

It is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional, especially a pharmacist, about whether or not to continue taking Effexor for fibromyalgia during pregnancy. The benefits and risks of the medication should be carefully considered in relation to your specific situation. While there may be some potential risk associated with taking the medication during pregnancy, studies so far have not shown a significant increase in the risk of birth defects.
