Effexor (Venlafaxine) Works on Serotonin and Norepinephrine for Depression, Anxiety, PTSD & More
Some people say this medication may be better for depression as it works on more of the body’s chemicals than other antidepressants. It works on both serotonin and norepinephrine. Not only has it shown to be helpful for depression, anxieties, and panic disorder, it’s thought it could also help with OCD, ADHD, and may be helpful in some cases of chronic pain.
For Generalized Anxiety Disorder, doses of 75-225mg of the long-acting version was effective in treating sleep and concentration problems, irritability, muscle tension, and restlessness.
For depression, the benefits usually will be seen at 75mg a day and the maximum dose for the long acting one is 225mg. The short acting can go up to 375mg.
The most frequent side effect is nausea. Starting the medication at a low dose helps minimize this effect. It can also cause sexual side effects like decreased libido or a delay in orgasm. Headaches, sleep problems, daytime sedation, dry mouth, dizziness, sweating, nervousness, constipation are also common side effects. Higher doses of the medication can increase blood pressure.
If stopping this medication, there needs to be a slow taper because it can cause strong side effects including dizziness, dry mouth, sleep problems, nausea, nervousness, sweating, diarrhea, or sensory disturbances.
There is also a warning of increasing chance of suicidality in people younger than 24. But as I’ve mentioned in previous videos, this is not conclusive - as serotonin has been shown to help prevent against suicide.
There are several other possible side effects of this medication which are not talked about in this video, but can be possible as it affects the brain and body’s nervous system.
