Have been on Effexor XR 75mg. for 40 days for Fibromyalgia pain symptoms. I do notice a definite decrease in pain, but after reading many of the postings am now worried about the side effects. Found out the hard way not to stop it suddenly. After 2 days of not taking it (without discussing with my doctor) got violently ill. Thought it was just the flu until I read the site postings.
Would like to hear some positive feedback, if any, from people taking it specifically for pain. I have taken antidepressants for years, off and on, but never Effexor.
