When I first started the effexor XR I too had muscle pain, tension in jaw, and headaches. The headaches I fixed by splitting the dose into twice a day. I have had a chronic problem with my muscles so I was able to use methods I've had for combatting them. (pills, relaxation, and light stretching) They did all go away.

Are you taking the XR version? I am and I've had an increase in my blood pressure and pulse. I've split my dose into twice a day and I think perhaps sometimes I may have forgotten that I've taken a dose and may have taken an extra one? I'm not sure. The doctor had me wear a monitor for 24 hrs to see if it was related to the time I take my medications. The lady who hooked it up said caffeine can increase both so I've bought decaffeinated coffee. I go tomorrow to discuss the results and will write back if I get any useful info.
