    If you don’t feel like reading my rants all over the place on this forum, I just wanted to clue you in on this experience of mine with Effexor XR. It’s such a great painkiller that my experiences with MRSA cellulitis and sinusitis only barely hurt.

    My warning is this: Effexor XR is so good a painkiller that it might just mask serious conditions. Especially if you’re on it for depression or anxiety and aren’t expecting analgesia.

    I have seen TV commercials pushing Cymbalta for chronic pain. After my Effexor experience, if I were desperate for relief from chronic pain, I’d go with an SNRI.

    Good point. There are many other medications that do a similar thing. At work I see in use all sorts of anti-depressants and anti-seizure medications for relief of chronic pain conditions, and to also help the sleeplessness that goes with them.
