I've been on effexor for 4 years initially for depression and now for fibromyalgia. It's helped tremendously. To counter the sexual side effects my doctor put me on wellbutrin as well. I take 75mg extended release eff. and 100 mg sustained release Wellb.They work well together. I am concerned though about the withdrawl problems with effexor. You have to go off very slowly to the point of halving the 37. dose and tapering from there. I would like to try cymbalta as well; it is supposed to help fibromyalgia pain. Good Luck!
