What is venlafaxine?

is used to treat severe depression, anxiety disorder or panic disorder. It is one of a group of medicines known as serotonin-noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). It is believed that SNRIs work by increasing the activity of certain chemicals working in our brains called neurotransmitters. These pass signals from one brain cell to another. Although we don’t know for certain, the neurotransmitters that are most likely to be involved in depression and some other conditions are thought to be serotonin and noradrenaline.

Dose

• The dose of venlafaxine will be different for different people. Your doctor will usually start you on a low dose and if  you need to, will increase your dose slowly. This allows your body to get used to the medicine and reduces side effects.
• Always take your venlafaxine exactly as your doctor has told you. The pharmacy label on your medicine will tell you how much venlafaxine to take, how often to take it, and any special instructions. Where to buy Effexor (Venlafaxine) online in New Zealand & Australia

How to take venlafaxine

• Timing: Take venlafaxine once a day, at the same time each day, either in the morning OR in the evening. You can take it at a time that suits you, but try to take your doses at the same time each day. It is best to take venlafaxine with food.
• Swallow your venlafaxine capsule whole, with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew the capsules. This will release all the medicine at once and cause side effects.
• Missed dose: If you forget to take your dose and if it is more than 12 hours late, wait until the next day and take your normal dose then. Do not take double the dose. Otherwise, if it is less than 12 hours late, take it as soon as you remember, and then go back to taking as you would normally.
• Keep taking venlafaxine regularly. It may take a few weeks or months before you notice the full benefits of venlafaxine. If you think venlafaxine is not working for you, do not stop taking it suddenly; speak to your doctor or nurse before stopping. It is usually best to stop taking venlafaxine very slowly to avoid side effects.

Precautions while taking venlafaxine

• Alcohol:  Avoid alcohol while you are taking venlafaxine, especially when you first start treatment. Drinking alcohol while taking venlafaxine can cause drowsiness and affect concentration, putting you at risk of falls and other accidents. It can also cause agitation, aggression and forgetfulness. If you do drink alcohol, drink only small amounts and see how you feel. Do not stop taking your medication.
• High blood pressure (hypertension): If you have high blood pressure, you may need to check your blood pressure more often, especially when you first start venlafaxine, because it can cause an increase in blood pressure.
• Sun protection: Venlafaxine can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. You may get a burning, tingling feeling on your skin when you are in the sun, or you may notice a darker tan or redness. When outside, protect your skin by using a good sunscreen (SPF 50+) and wearing a wide-brimmed sunhat and long-sleeved shirts and trousers.
