As I only very briefly tried Effexor I can't comment on it's effects other than recalling a tension headache during the week or so I tested it. I'm curious whether your symptoms are in the drug profile. I'm particularly curious about the tension and back pain you've experienced and what sort of impact ADs in general, and effexor in particular, have on muscles' tone. Cam or Sunnely may be the best to answer the general question.

Good luck sorting it out...

> I started on Effexor about 7 months ago. Gradually increased the dosage until I was taking 187 mg (5 pills). Found out by mistake from my internist a few weeks ago that my heart rate was up to 88 beats per minute at rest (my normal was 64), but my blood pressure was normal at that time. In the last 2 weeks, I began having more migraines (known side-effect of Effexor) and increased muscle tension to the point where my back muscles began to hurt quite badly. Per my psychiatrist, I went back down to 4 pills (150 mg). But three days ago, I discovered my blood pressure was up to 156/96 (my normal had been 120/70).
...interested in whether anyone else has had side effects from Effexor like those I have had. Bless and good luck to you all!
