Hi there,
I had severe withdrawl symptoms when I tapered off of effexor xr several years ago and body aches and joint pain were among them....We then upped the dose slightly and started tapering off in tiny amounts (by 37.5mg at a time), it took about three months to stop it altogether without the symptoms being to debilitating.
I went back on Effexor xr about a year and a half ago to treat the return of my anxiety disorder. On another note I recently suffered a full tonic seizure and the hospital seemed to think that it was caused by missing 3 doses of my effexor xr. I have no known seizure disorder and since that seizure I've not had another - mind you I'm am extremely careful about not missing my meds!
