I would like to comment that I started with venlafaxine one month ago by suggestion of the neurologist that diagnosed me. That doctor told me that time that he treated lot of people with pain and my diagnosis what somewhat confusing to me, he mentioned neuropathy, fibro, emotional things and suggested venlafaxine, psychoteraphy and sports, well I just started venlafaxine and symptoms clearly improved altough sometimes have some discomfort but it is much safer than the previous state, i have less pain or less frecuent, so maybe he knows what he do.
