Can Venlafaxine Be Causing Pain Under The Rib Cage?
I have been on Venlafaxine XR 37.5 mg. for 5 years to control Hotflashes. For appros. 2 yrs. I have been having clenching pains under my rib cage on the right side. I have had 2 ultrasounds that were normal, no Gallstones. Is it possible that venlafaxine is the cause of these paons?

Hello,
Venlafaxine can cause muscular hypertonicity which feels as an increased stiffness/tightness. It could be that the reason of the pain.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
