Reviews for Effexor XR to treat Fibromyalgia

Review by Anonymous:

Fantastic for anxiety. Has enabled me to function normally. I spent 15 years in constant state of stress. This really worked for me for fibromyalgia. Can't believe I'm pain free after 20 years.

Effexor was better for fibromyalgia when you could control dosage and take more if needed.

Although Venlafaxine doesn't get rid of the pain, my life has improved immensely now that the depression is controlled.

It worked on the fibromyalgia pain, but it caused my brain to malfunction. I couldn't think, I became forgetful, I got 'lost and confused' in my own house, my head felt as if it was full of cobwebs and I was walking in a fog all the time, I'd wake up as tired as I had been when I went to bed unless I drank a few beers or had a couple of glasses of wine. I am now in pain AND depressed. Trying to locate a natural [herb/spice] for fibromyalgia pain and subsequent depression.
