Who qualifies for Venlafaxine

An EU-licensed doctor assesses your medical history and current health to determine if Venlafaxine is suitable. They look for a diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD), or Panic Disorder. The doctor also considers any existing conditions, other medications you take, and potential contraindications to ensure Venlafaxine is safe and effective for your specific situation. This individual review ensures patient safety and appropriate treatment.

What Venlafaxine actually does (and doesn't do)

Venlafaxine is a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI). It works by increasing the levels of serotonin and norepinephrine, two neurotransmitters in your brain that help regulate mood and anxiety. This action can help alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety disorders. It is not a sedative or a quick fix; the therapeutic effects typically develop gradually over several weeks. Consistent use, as prescribed by your doctor, is key for it to be effective. It does not cure depression or anxiety but helps manage the symptoms.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Venlafaxine can cause side effects. Common ones include nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, sweating, insomnia, and sexual dysfunction. These often improve as your body adjusts to the medication. More serious, though rare, side effects can include changes in blood pressure or serotonin syndrome. If you experience severe or unusual symptoms, contact a healthcare professional immediately. It's crucial not to stop Venlafaxine abruptly, as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms. Always follow your doctor's guidance for dosage adjustments or discontinuation.
