In reply to Can Pristiq/Effexor cause joint pain?, posted by conundrum on March 21, 2010, at 16:41:46
> I have had some chronic joint pain for awhile and I've noticed since starting pristiq it is a little worse. I'm kind of surprised since NE is supposed to improve pain, so I think maybe the pain is from 5 HT overload. Its not a strong pain but its curious. Any ideas?
I believe that SSRIs are known for causing joint pain or flu-like symptoms. I imagine the same might be true of Effexor as well. You can find references to this when searching the Internet.
