You also need to check if Generic
Effexor XR is avalible in your area of the world. I heard that the
patent was up and this means that it should be avalible in a generic formula that is the same as Effexor XR. If not then you doctor should have no problem writing you a script for the name brand Effexor XR. Just call him and say "hello doc, thatks for the generic Venlafaxine, but I prefer name brand Effexor XR."
He should have no problem with this at all.
