I have checked with a Dr. I have found that Effexor is used to actually raise the pain tolerance level. The rest of it is used to make the patient lower their anxiety about the pain.
I think perhaps that it is far too easy for a Dr to prescribe something to get onto the next patient. How in the world can someone diagnose a patient in the time frame of 5 to 10 mins. ALL DR offices now book in that time increments.
I have solved the problem by them going to a different Dr. The reason for the post was to get people to think before blindly trusting some guy in a white coat.
The sheer audacity of someone issuing that when they clearly didn't do a good exam. Sickens me completely.
