I honestly believe Effexor may have contributed to my symptoms. The PN pain first started when I was on Celexa. Eased back off when I came off the Celexa and started up again about a year after I began the Effexor. For sure the RLS type symptoms seemed to be caused by SSRI's for me. Meds have so many sides. Most of them the makers are not even aware of let alone the doctors. They're all so quick to say, "Oh it couldn't be *that*. That's not a known side effect!" Bingo! Not known until someone has it.

I've decided to get rid of all the prescriptions meds I can. They certainly didn't help much overall. In fact some of them caused more problems than they were given to treat in the first place! Just not worth some of the sides I've seen.
