Common Questions and Answers about Generic venlafaxine vs effexor
effexor
I hav taken Effexor Hcl 150 mg generic called Venlafaxine HCL ER Capsules 150mg, for years. A new doc wrote for the same medication in tablet form by mistake instead of the caps.
Will it work the same for me?
Next time you see doctor for a prescription make sure they put Effexor and not Venlafaxine on it. That way you will get brand Effexor. One doctor I saw was very reluctant to do that, but I insisted, and he could not refuse. I certainly noticed a huge difference in Effexor and the generic form. When I was withdrawing I did have to go onto the generic as it comes in tablet form which I could then cut up.
Hope you can get the real Effexor, and I am glad you are feeling so much better on it.
Trust me, all the name brand antidepressant meds are just as expensive. The active ingredient in Effexor is Venlafaxine, which is avalible in a Generic, but it is not in the XR form. The XR is short for "extended release."
Only the Effexor has this time release form of Venlafaxine delivery. I have found this time release form to be much more effective than the generic Venlafaxine which has no such delivery system.
there is no generic for effexor XR only regular effexor, you are going to notice symptom of a kind of withdrawl, headaches, vertigo, this is the worst. I take effexor xr and if I miss a dose I feel terrible---call you doctor--alot of times the have samples that can get you through until you can get your money.
I've been on Effexor XR (not the generic.. the generic *****) for about 5-6 years now. I was a lot different 5 years ago though. It was great for the 1st few years, I didn't get down, I was happy however, like a numb happy. I wanted to be numb then though. I now want to feel and have a mind that isn't blah. I feel like Effexor has almost stolen my creativity. The withdrawl from Effexor I hear is terrible. Brain shakes, nausea, episodes of crying, paranoia, anxiety X10.
Effexor and Pristiq are not the dance thing. Sane family. Venlafaxine vs desvenlafaxine. Pristiq had added benefit of norepinehprine uptake inhibitor or something. Weird that everyone is getting prescribed 50mg when the added benefits dont kick in until 100-150mg. Before swapping drug altogether (depending on non mental side effects) try upping dose first maybe.
Can Venlafaxine 37.5 m ( which is a generic brand of Effexor ) be taken with 20 mg of methadone? Are these two drugs okay to be mixed? Anyone taking this?
Hello. I presume venalic is a generic of Venlafaxine, (Effexor) I was on a generic called Viepax, but asked to go back on Effexor, as I did not feel it was so effective.
I am 150mg of Effexor, and have had bad clinical depression for about 20 years. I cannot go off anti-depressants now as always get another bad bout of depression. It is true, the longer, and more bouts you have, the more you need anti-depressants. I dare not stop again.
I am sorry you are so poorly at the moment.
Hi, Venlafaxine hydrochloride is Viepax. Viepax is the generic form of Effexor. I take 150mg Effexor at breakfast, and it releases during the day.
When I was given Viepax, I did not find it as effextive as Effexor, and asked to be put back on Effexor. Feel much better now.
You are taking a lot of Venlafaxine over a day, unlike some, who take a daily dose. Perhaps there was a reason for this in your case. There are XP versions, and XL versions. The difference is in the release time.
I was well for a year, lost all the weight I had put on, but got a terrible bout of depression again. I am on Effexor 150mg a day, having been on the generic Viepax, but not finding it so effective.
Amatrypttyline is one of the old anti-depressants. I expect, like me, you were on it once, as we have both had depression for many years. I have stopped other anti-depressants cold turkey with no side effects at all.
Why did your GP take you off Venlafaxine?
