Description
Chemical Name: VENLAFAXINE (VEN-la-fax-een)
EFFEXOR XR is medication that is used to treat mental depression, social phobia, panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, or to relieve the symptoms of anxiety. It works by affecting chemicals in the brain that may cause an imbalance resulting in conditions such as depression. Effexor XR comes in an extended release capsule (XR), meaning the medicine is released slowly into your body. Please note it is not used for anxiety or tension caused by the stress of everyday life.
|
Directions
Effexor XR comes in tablet form and is taken orally once a day or as directed by your physician. It is usually taken with food, either in the morning or evening. Be sure to swallow the whole tablet. Do not crush, break, split, or chew it because it can release the entire chemical at once, increasing the risk of the side effects.
Some patients may find it difficult to swallow the tablet whole, so with the advice of their physician, they may open the capsule and sprinkle the contents onto a spoonful of applesauce. Swallow all of the mixture immediately without chewing. Drink a glass of water after each dose. Effexor XR should be taken at the same time each day to maintain an even level of the drug in your blood. In order for it to work effectively, it must be taken as prescribed. Effexor XR will not work if you stop taking it. It may take several weeks to feel the benefit of this medication. Tell your physician if your condition persists or worsens.

Cautions
Before taking Effexor XR, consult your physician to verify that you are not allergic to any chemicals contained in this medicine. Effexor XR may contain inactive ingredients which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Inform your physician of any medications that you are taking, including prescription, non-prescription and/or herbal supplements.
Effexor XR may not be right for you if you experience any of the following conditions:
- bipolar disorder/manic depression
- liver disease
- kidney disease
- high blood pressure and/or cholesterol

It is important to avoid drinking alcohol while taking Effexor XR because it can increase some of the side effects. The chemical venlafaxine which is contained in Effexor XR may impair a patient's thinking and/or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be alert.
Effexor XR is not recommended for anyone under 18 years old without the advice of a physician.
