309783 tn?1271958229 Viepax is simply a new generic version of Effexor XR (Extended Release) The active ingredient is Venlafaxine. (Same as in Effexor XR) The patent on Effexor XR ran out about 8 months ago and now other pharm companies can make generic extended release Effexor. In the last 7 years Effexor XR has made Weith Pharm company 3.5 Billion dollars per year. That Billion not Million. Now you can see why other pharm companies are so eager to get their generic version to market.
Avatar m tn Why not Generic Effexor XR? It comes in a generic now.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn which brand of generic Effexor XR is chemically closest to the brand name Drug, the drug compound & the capsule
1110049 tn?1409402144 What Hensley says sounds great. Weren't you on Effexor XR before. Maybe you won't be able to take the generic. I took Wellbutrin for awhile, tried it again years later and thought I was losing it.
Avatar n tn Yes, I agree w/ the generic thing. They offered me generic, but I refused. I hope you feel better. I know exactly how your are 'feeling'... I have to say that I feel better on Effexor XR and my family also sees a big difference. I can tolerate things much better, and will ask to go to 75 in a couple weeks. I think this dose is ok, but I need just abit more. Deep breaths.. thanks for all...
603543 tn?1255294450 The dr gave me generic effexor xr to try instead of regular effexor xr.... i took them over the weekend, had a headache and was tired all weekend..... yesterday i decided to switch back to my reg effexor xr, and my head was clear, i didnt have that heavy tired feeling in my head....i got so much done yesterday i havent felt likethat in so long....today its back to that heavy tired feeling, i was so excited about that feeling yesterday........ how upsetting.....i want that feeling back....
1378325 tn?1285346625 I was told my my pharmacist that Effexor XR and the generic is made my the same manufacture. The price is the same to me under my medicare plan except less money is applied toward the medicare "gap" so I choose the generic. Insurance is such a scam. If it were you or me we would be up on racketeering charges. Pharmaceuticals have big bank accounts and politicians have deep pockets.
1302779 tn?1287405029 Hely all I was on celexa 40 mg for around 6 months and my doc switched me to cymbalta celexa was an ssri and cybalta is an snri. I have no problem with the switch except cybalta doesnt come in generic which my insurance only pays for generic drugs but "effexor " does. has anyone have experience with effexor?
Avatar f tn I tried Pristiq in an attempt to help with menopausal symptoms. I was (and am) on Effexor XR, and Pristiq is almost identical to Effexor XR. I think the only difference is in their molecules. I didn't find Pristiq any better (for me) than Effexor XR, so I went back to Effexor XR. I wish you the best of luck with it. I hope it works for you.
Avatar n tn Ahh Pristiq, The new SSNRI. Actualy just a slight tweek on Effexor XR. Interesting fact about Pristiq..... Wyeth's newest Antidepressant medication Pristiq, is actually kind of a sister drug of Effexor XR. In fact in terms of the active ingrediants molecular structure they are about 98% the same. You know why the Drug Company Wyeth would produce a drug so much like Effexor XR?
Avatar n tn The whole antidepressant weight gain or loss issue is still a big debate. On one hand scientific studies show that SSRI and SNRI medications do not alter the bodies metabolism, on the other hand you see reports by people saying they gained weight on them. In the last 16 years I have taken nearly every SSRI and SNRI medication on the market and did not experience weight gain or loss on any of them. Now, obviously I am about 25Lbs heavier than I was when I was in my 20s.
534618 tn?1213454476 Some new developments on Effexor... regular Effexor has gone generic! I was shocked to get my prescription for my minimum copay! Only downside - no generic Effexor XR. Today's my first day on the regular Effexor, so I'll let everyone know how it goes. One thing I heard today that I hadn't heard before: Effexor withdrawl/weaning symptoms can be severe enough to land you in the hospital. Yikes!
Avatar n tn My daughter has been on Effexor XR 150 MG for about a year. She recently found out that her insurance would not pay for this medicine. Her Dr. put her on Zoloft without wheening her off of the Effexor XR. She is experience symptoms that include feeling very dizzy and nausea. Is this Dr. correct prescribing her this new medicine without slowly wheening her off of the Effexor XR. Are these symptoms due to her going "Cold Turkey" with the Effexor XR? Please advised.
Avatar f tn There is a generic Immediate Release Effexor available, not the XR. I am currently trying to come off this drug. Here is what my psychiatrist told me, but I haven't completed it yet, so I don't know if it will work. So, I was on Pristiq (by GP, not Psych), my psychiatrist switched me to 150 mg effexor instead...they are equivalant. So, now, I am dropping 37.
Avatar n tn Barbara- I tapered Effexor with a lot of difficulty. When I went off for two days, I was nuts, crying all the time and having the brain zaps. So, my psych put me on prozac for a few weeks. So far, it has helped a lot. I plan to go off all anti-depressants to get pregnant, but if you need something just to bridge the gap with Effexor, which is an SNRI, then prozac helps, even though it's an SSRI.
Avatar f tn Hi, I have GAD and took lexapro and generic lexapro for almost 9 years before it stopped working for me. My doc put me on effexor xr on May 5 and I feel as though my anxiety has gotten worse. She has recommended we double the dose to 150 mgs . I am looking for advice as to whether I should continue on this path. I want so much for this to work ! Any thoughts? Thank you so much! Anyone has this experience and then had improvement? Looking for any and all positive feedback!
Avatar m tn Has anyone tried the generic for of the regular effexor. My insurance is way more the effexor xr. The regular effexor has a generic.
Avatar m tn My insurance carrier recently switched my prescription coverage from the Brand Name of Effexor XR to the newly available Generic. I have noticed that my depression is getting worse, my anxiety is off the scale and I am falling back into very bad self-harming, self-destructive behavior. At the same time that this was switched, I was also taken off of Celexa (10mg daily) which was being used as an add-on treatment for the Effexor. We stopped the Celexa due to severe bruising and nose bleeds.
Avatar f tn Hi. I know this is an older thread but I have a question. I am on Effexor xr ( generic). I started at 37.5 with the doctor saying he was going to 75 mg if I tolerated well. Well, little by littte we have had to keep ramping up and now I am 181.5 mg. That was 7 days ago. I know he said he doesn't want to go to the next higher dose which is 225. It seems like I get one good week and then start to relapse. Makes me wonder if this the drug for me.
Avatar m tn I started Effexor XR about 4 days ago. So far it's been somewhat similar for the initial stage as other SSRI's, though maybe with a touch more anxiety. The last time I was on an SSRI (first time on an SNRI now), was a few months back. I'm also taking .5mg of clonazepam, and 20mg of propanolol, along with the 75mg of Effexor XR. I take all of them once per day, in the morning when I wake up (my peak anxiety time).
Avatar n tn Yes, I would also recommend that you consult with your doctor. I would ask about taking the Effexor XR pills which are timed to last the full 24 hours. So I wouldn't think in that case it should matter. But be sure to tell your doctor about your sleepiness. Maybe just reducing the dose could help you. I always took less than 150mg.
Avatar f tn In January, my MD directed me on how to wean myself from Effexor XR...so I could begin a generic form of Celexa. My God. If this is what withdrawal is like, I am fortunate that I never abused drugs. Hot flashes and sweats; the zinging in my head that I've read others describing, crying, nausea. Happily, the drug-related constipation has ended. Dizzyness and then a BAD migraine - and a ride from work to the ER. I tapered off with weekly decreases...dropped to 150mg for one week...
Avatar f tn hi i am on 3 weeks today taking 150mg effexor xr and not feeling any different is this the normal thing
