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 n tn which brand of generic Effexor XR is chemically closest to the brand name Drug, the drug compound & the capsule
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.
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.
603543 tn?1255294450 My dr gave me samples of generic effexor xr the other day to try, over the weekend i took them and had the most awful headaches...Im so afraid to take them now..Ayone heard anything about these?
1378325 tn?1285346625 Hi, I get my prescriptions through Express Scripts and they recently contacted my doctor about a generic for Effexor ER called Venlafaxine. The problem is, I now take the extended release Effexor and the supposed generic for this med is $70 more than the brand name Effexor ER. How could a generic subsitute be more expensive than the brand name, just doesn't make any sense to me. If I chose to take the non-extended release generic Venlafaxine, it would be $80 cheaper than the Effexor ER.
Avatar n tn True, there is no generic for XR (extended rlease), however, there is a generic for just Effexor and it is called Venlafaxine in tablet form. You may have to take more than one tablet per day to get the same extended effects, I don't know. Also, have you thought about getting your doctor to write you a 90 day prescription and purchasing mail order from Canada? It is so much cheaper. You can pull up Canadian Pharmacy on the web and get prices for generic and name brand.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn Better late than never! I took both of your advice's and consulted with docter next time I went. He said fine to take both at night. Unfor, there is no generic for the XR yet (or wasn't late Sept, 12). With the amount of stuff I take for FMS (depression involved), back pain and ADD, I have to have the generics if they're available. I may go back temp. to 1 and 1 again. Without the XR, does seem like I'd not be gettnig the full affect.
Avatar m tn Hi. The drug you are talking about is generic Effexor XR. I have been on it for a few months and seem to being okay.
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.
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.
673186 tn?1225983925 If you do try Effexor XR....DO NOT GET THE GENERIC VENLAFAXINE! Big difference in terms of the release mechinism. Venlafaxine hits too hard too fast because it has no slow release property like Effexor XR has.
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?
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
