Avatar n tn You may want to switch that generic Venlafaxine to Effexor XR and perhap talk to you doc about adding Lithium. Good thing about Lithium is even if you don't have Bi-polar, it will still help a lot as an add on medication for your Effexor XR. Generic Venlafaxine has no sustained release properties to it. This can pose a problem because it has such a short half life as atidepressants go. making the switch to Effexor XR and adding Lithium should make a world of difference.
Business woman2 I am happy to help you with your question. At Walgreens, we currently carry the Barr manufacturer brand of generic Adderall. All the forms of generic Adderall and all strengths from Barr manufacturer do not contain neither Gluten nor Lactose. Wishing you the best! Be well.
722467 tn?1231360966 Venlafaxine seems to cause a slight gain in weight initially in a lot of people, although this should stabilise fairly quickly. In a few individuals, it seems to decrease appetite. There's quite a strong case for wondering whether it's the listlessness, carbohydrate cravings and general matabolic slowdown that are part-and-parcel of depression that are the primary cause of any increase in weight, as JJ11 suggests.
Avatar n tn Can I take 2 75mg tablets of Venlafaxine HCL (not ER) at night? What might be the problems with doing this? My prescription says 1 at night, 1 in morning. I had started this prescription 2-3 months ago and stopped because they made me very sleepy durng the day. I'm starting again and can already feel the 1 75mg pill taking effect (I had stopped any antidepressants for 3 months but now determined I had better start again). Thank You.
Avatar f tn I've been on Effexor XR (venlafaxine) for more than a decade. I take it at night as I'm heading to bed and have done that since the very beginning and have no problem with it causing sleeping problems. I am very surprised that your doc started you out at a 75 mg dose as the typical onboarding dosage is only 37.5 mg for the first week or two and then increased, if warranted. The only problem I have ever had with Effexor was that it is incredibly difficult to stop taking.
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 Thank you for your cautionary tale. I also spent a period on fairly high dose Venlafaxine XL (225mg) about ten years ago. I vividly remember the awful side-effects that would develop within a few hours of missing a dose and would evaporate rapidly when I took the medication.
Avatar n tn I am a 21 year old male who has been lowering my dose of Venlafaxine slowly, i took it down to 75mg a few months ago and stopped taking them a few days ago... I am still getting those "head shocks". How long is this going to last? In two days i have a very important showcase gig with my band. Freaking out here, i need to be able to function. What should i do?

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.
632919 tn?1252774093 Right now, my pdoc and I decided that it might be beneficial to try a med washout period. So, I have been trying to get off Effexor for the last few weeks. I had been on 75mg since November. I started by alternating 75mg one day with 37.5mg the next, then 37.5mg for one week, then 37.5mg every other day. I didn't make it a week with 37.5mg every other day because the withdrawal was so bad. So now I am taking 25mg generic immediate-release venlafaxine for one week, then 12.
Avatar m tn I'd been on 1 x 75mg of Venlafazine/Effexor XR a day for quite a few years. The initial need for taking them, no longer existed, so decided I'd been taking them for far longer than what I should have been, and wanted to have a bash at discontinuing.
324184 tn?1308076203 pdf Discontinuation symptoms have been reported when switching patients from other antidepressants, Including Effexor XR (Venlafaxine) to PRISTIQ (Desvenlafaxine) . Tapering of the initial drug may be necessary to decease symptoms. http://labeling.pfizer.com/showlabeling.aspxid=497 Cymbalta has a coating that resists dissolving until reaching the G.I. tract where the pH exceeds 5.5 (duodenum).
Avatar n tn About 3 out of 10 patients experience withdrawal symptoms when stopping Exeffor (Venlafaxine). It is not advisable to stop suddenly or reduce the dose too quickly, especially if you have been taking this drug for a long period of time, or at a high dose. Venlafaxine has a short half-life which is why you feel like this even after missing one dose. Could anyone help you out with money so you can reduce the dose gradually? If you could get 37.
540093 tn?1279821834 I started taking 75mg of venlafaxine yesterday around 12pm and I noticed my pupils were instantly dilated and I have endless energy. Honestly I feel GREAT and am ready to take on the world... but not sleep. It's 6:17am and I haven't had a wink of sleep yet. Will this problem get better in time?

1270834 tn?1270769758 I've been taking 225mg of generic venlafaxine XR made by Teva USA for several months and never experienced this issue until yesterday and today, when I had a stomach ache and diarrhea with little white balls throughout. Though I still wonder why this has never happened before, I'm relieved to find out that this is a seemingly normal side-effect of venlafaxine XR.
1056851 tn?1318720978 I have been on venlafaxine XR for several years. I find that it works quite well on my chronic depression. No particular side effects that I can name.
Avatar f tn Can anyone tell me whats the difference between Efexor xr and Efexor xl (venlafaxine) Thankyou
1110049 tn?1409402144 She tells me that the lowest dose of XL is 75mg. She has put me on 37.5mg daily Venlafaxine. I tried this as 150mg dose, and it was not the same at all as Effexor. Is there any alternative. I know Venlafaxine, is supposed to be the same as Effexor, but I don't think it is - at least my body said it was different!! I am now wondering what the next step is for me. What is the difference between Effexor XL and Venlafaxine. How do I reduce from 37.5mg Venlafaxine?
