Just found this site - reviewed many of the topics, particularly
those regarding effexor XR (150mg.a day since last February)
and weight gain. I am also on depakote 500mg. twice a day for a seizure I had in
1995). Didn't realize that weight gain was possible
side effect of it. My time is short for now, so I will]
get right to the point - has anyone experienced muscle
ache/pain from the effexor XR? My brother had been on
it also and had real bad pain in his calves when he
would go for a walk. His doctor ran some sort of test
for a muscle enzyme which was elevated, so the MD took
him off. I am seeing my MD today, and am going to ask
him about this. Plus I am going to explore the weight
gain more with him. I have not been able to exercise
walk because of calf pain myself, and I have gained
25 pounds since last spring although I can't be sure
that some of that isn't due to the female hormones
which I started the end of August.Anyway, any information/experience with the muscle pain
would be greatly appreciated. Janet M.
