Can I ask how long the body aches lasted? I'm off it all for 4-5 weeks now and can barely move. Everything hurts. Back, legs, feet...will it ever end?
Thank you

I very, very gradually stopped taking effexor but after finding out that it had masked my physical pain which I was now experiencing again, I decided to go back on, however, only to 37.5 instead of 75 mg which I'd been on for years. Am doing very well, hardly notice any difference in my anxiety, and the pain is gone. I'm female and 72 years. Hope you find comfort.
