I weaned off effexor about 2 yrs ago maybe and I have a possible "frozen shoulder" or shoulder impingement. I hadn't put the 2 together...don't know if its related but you never know. I am 44 and I cant use my arm and for no reason at all. Xray didnt show anything, I work from home on a computer all day, I have not damaged it in any way. I have other minor joint pain too but nothing like my shoulder.

If you will research frozen shoulders, I think you will find that no one really knows their cause, they seem to just happen. I had a frozen shoulder occur out of the blue years ago that physical therapy fixed for me. (I was on Effexor for years before and for years after; I didn't and don't consider them to be related.) My brother had a frozen shoulder at one time, as well as his wife, and a co-worker, etc. None of those folks were on Effexor. Mention your shoulder to others and you may be surprised at how many have experienced the same. Good luck with yours.
