>Yes, in response to another query, I have seen from side-effect lists that muscle tension can be a side-effect of Effexor. In my case, the elevated blood pressure and the extreme increase in muscle tension did not begin until a few weeks after I increased to 187 mg. (probably, when the higher dose began taking effect). I am pretty clear that the Effexor did markedly increase the muscle tension in my neck, back and one leg. I can see no other reason for this increased tension; the extent to which I was not used to >experiencing.
What would the deal on this be and is this a side effect of other ADs? As I've state elsewhere I've noted my muscle tone and tension to have altered both with and without ADs (though certainly in refelction of my anxiety/depresion levels) and am curious about the correlation. Any insights would be appreciated about this dynamic, which is vexing and would have cost me lots in massage and chiropractory charges if it was not partially covered by B.C.'s medicare system, which still does not suffice for my fasciae and muscular strains and energy drains...
