Effexor contains venlafaxine, an SNRI antidepressant. It comes as a tablet in 37.5mg and 75mg strengths and is used for major depressive disorder and generalised anxiety disorder. Pfizer is the originator company, and the medicine also appears under the names Venlax and Viepax.
Venlafaxine raises serotonin and norepinephrine levels in the brain to help regulate mood and relieve depression and anxiety symptoms. Effects may take 2–4 weeks. Treatment needs monitoring for suicidal ideation; the risk of suicidal thoughts and actions is higher in children, teenagers and adults under 24, especially in the first months and after a dose increase. It is contraindicated in hypersensitivity to venlafaxine and must not be combined with MAO inhibitors, linezolid or methylene blue. Serotonin syndrome is a serious side effect needing immediate medical attention.
