Nope not insane at all. Effexor is very effective, and has little side-effects for most people. It blocks reuptake of NE, and effects pain gating via this process at the base of the spine to reduce pain signals to the brain. Cymbalta was created just for this and is very similar to Effexor. Using these meds for pain is a ver common and accepted medical practice with alot of benefit.
