Can I Take Fetzima Instead Of Effexor While Having A Menopause?

I am on .5 mg cipralex, I am bloated. I was taking 37.5 mg effexor however tried to raise it to 75 mg very bloated. I am in menopause and have a lot of water retention. Do you think that fetzima might be good for me since it contains no sodium, as effexor not really working anymore at 37.5 mg.
