In reply to Can Pristiq/Effexor cause joint pain?, posted by conundrum on March 21, 2010, at 16:41:46
> I have had some chronic joint pain for awhile and I've noticed since starting pristiq it is a little worse. I'm kind of surprised since NE is supposed to improve pain, so I think maybe the pain is from 5 HT overload. Its not a strong pain but its curious. Any ideas?
I personally don't doubt that it can. I developed pain in the knees while on Effexor many years ago, and my sister is currently experiencing a lot of joint trouble on Pristiq as I write this. She is now struggling to get off if without too many discontinuation symptoms in an effort to mitigate the joint pain.
