Low back pain 4 two years. doc says residual nerve pain. doc wants me on effexor (venlafaxine) but i'm scared of sideffects. is paxil as effective 4 nerve pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Effexor (venlafaxine) or paxil: is a great medication for nerve pain. However, there is no such thing as "best", "better" or "worst" medication, only those that work and don't work, based on the patient's individual circumstances and genetics.
