Who qualifies for Venlafaxine

Venlafaxine is a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) primarily prescribed for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD), and Panic Disorder. When reviewing your case, the doctor looks for a clear diagnosis of these conditions, your medical history, current medications, and any contraindications. It's crucial to provide accurate information to ensure your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment.

What Venlafaxine actually does (and doesn't do)

Venlafaxine works by increasing the levels of serotonin and norepinephrine, two neurotransmitters in the brain that help regulate mood. This action can alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety. You might start to feel some improvement in 2–4 weeks, with full therapeutic effects typically appearing within 6–8 weeks. It's important to understand that Venlafaxine is not an instant cure; it helps manage symptoms over time as part of a broader treatment plan.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Venlafaxine can cause side effects. Common ones include nausea, headache, insomnia, dizziness, dry mouth, sweating, and sexual dysfunction. These often subside as your body adjusts. However, if side effects are severe or persistent, or if you experience any unusual changes in mood or behaviour, contact a healthcare professional immediately. Never stop taking Venlafaxine abruptly, as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms. Always consult with your doctor before making any changes to your medication.
