> Actually... Venlafaxine (Effexor) was highly recommended by my doc for my pain situation. I am on it for depression at 75 and that's about as high as I'm willing to go cuz of side effects. My understanding is you have to go higher for pain relief. (You know how effexor works, right? You have to get to a certain dose to get the dual neurotransmitter action) My doc told me that one of her patients who failed every treatment achieved relief at effexor 180.

I took Efexor two years ago 150mg/day for depression. I couldnt tolerate more because of sweating, weight gain, headaches and memory probs ! A second try ?!
