If effexor is working for your depression, there is no need to discontinue it. Alternative therapies don't alwyas work for depression.
Effexor has a noradrenic effect which can stimulate the beta adreno receptor. This can lead to anxiety and/or heart palpitions and pain.
Ask your doctor if a beta blocker might lessen the symptoms of pain.
