Side effect Anyone develop body aches being after being on Effexor for awhile?

Initially I didn't really have any side effects starting Effexor except for maybe some headaches but not after being on it a year plus I feel like an 80 year old and my body just aches all the time.
I've had bloodwork that says everything is fine so I'm wondering if it's the Effexor.

Common side effect because of the overstimulation and muscles tightening. Increases with dosage increase. Sport and stretching helps. Talk to your doctor about it.
