When it comes to body chemicals etc I'm quite illiterate. For myself I consider the muscle tension and pain as an inconvenience, though it does become intense if I'm not careful, compared to the thought problems and fatigue.
With the effexor I'm finally able to wakeup on my own after five years. (My children are still amazed when I get up without being awoken.) I also find my memory and thought processes improving, plus as an added bonus my stamina is slowly increasing.
As DJ has speculated I do believe with myself the muscle problems have come from poor posture etc. After the births of my last two children I didn't do the strengthening exercises as faithfully as I had done after the first one. I suspect this added to the problem.
Thanks for the input Alice. I do admit that I don't understand how these medications work, but I'm just happy to have somewhat of a normal semblance back.
