Savella would be a good one to try since it acts so differently than many of the others.
Just to let you know-Effexor caused extreme muscle tension in my back/neck which led to pain 24/7. Of course, anxiety could cause this too. But how long have you had those particular somatic effects? Could that be a side effect from the meds you take?
Norepinephrine can cause pain:

Maybe a one hour body massage might be the ideal thing for you at the moment! I strongly believe in regular massages and wish I could afford it. Massage also helps for fatigue. Anytime I have received one in the past I felt the energy flowing through my body afterwards-probably more from circulation-but it sure wakes you up! Also, Reiki will unblock trapped energy. I could not believe how 1 reiki session affected me-I saw all kinds of colors, with my eyes closed, by the end of the session.
This stuff is so unobtainable for those who cant afford it. Hope its an option for you.
Hope you feel better soon
