Could Taking Effexor XR Cause Excruciating Muscular And Joint Pain?
I am taking 225mg of effexor xr for the last 8 months, daily. Since a few months ago my muscles and joints ache and feel ripped. I can't walk without looking 100, can't turnover in bed and find getting up and sitting down excruciating. could effexor be the problem? They say i have fibromyalgia, but it is constant pain, never a break and i thought fibre had flares?

Hi welcome to health care magic forum.
As you said you are using, effexor since 8 months. Now you are suffering with the pains of the legs and arms, and body, with weakness.
I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.The condition appears to be the fibro myalgia.
Avoid taking potato, other tubers, tomato, egg, chicken, and sea foods till the weak ness is cleared.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.Thank you.
