Hi Betula, I have a litany of legacy effects. How long were you taking EFFEXOR? Like you, I have aches , inflammation & weakness attributable to the drug. In my case severe lower leg aches & arm aches. Some hip & lower back stiffness. NEVER had these issues before EFFXOR.
I am sure it is part & parcel of withdrawal. It would be useful if contributors to this site could say if their legacy side effects (after titration) corrolate - in duration of such issues- to how long they were on the drug in the first place . Regards

I only took this drug for 8weeks because the side effects were bad for me. .. Nausea, dizzy , ear pressure etc. My doctor was peeved when I quit and felt I had reached a “therapeutic” dose. I tapered pretty quickly and got off.
After reading these posts I’m glad I didn’t persist.
Has anyone tried, or considered fasting to allow your body to clear out some of this “junk” faster?
I have not researched fasting for drug purge, but might be worth exploring.
