Before starting pristiq I had joint pains. It got worse after starting pristiq. If you look up info on effexor and joint pains you will find that unlike cymbalta, an SNRI approved for CFS/fibro pain, effexor(and probably pristiq) increases joint pain. I wouldn't be surprised if it can increase pain in the brain as well. SSRIs give me headaches as well.
Post-SSRI syndrome: iatrogenic anhedonia, memory and concentration problems, sexual dysfunction. [NOTE no sadness or anxiety]
