I don't know what other drugs you tried, but a tricyclic antidepressant would have been a better choice IMO. These are commonly used for people with chronic pain, are cheap, and don't have serious withdrawal issues. If a couple of these were already tried and didn't work, I guess I would question going with Effexor, but I am not an expert on chronic pain. I was on and off Effexor for years and have gone through a couple of withdrawals--I believe you will find that you return to normal after getting through the withdrawal period.
