Effexor Xr

Effexor XR (venlafaxine hydrochloride) is a prescription drug recommended for patients diagnosed with some anxiety disorder or depression. This antidepressant relieves your symptoms by affecting certain chemicals in the brain and restoring their balance. To benefit from the treatment fully it’s important to take Effexor XR the right way and avoid combining it with tranquilizers, narcotic painkillers, antipsychotic medicines, other antidepressants, or any weight-loss products to prevent interactions or worsened side effects. Swallow the capsule of Effexor XR whole without crushing it or chewing it, as this drug has been specially formulated to dissolve only once inside your stomach. Always take as much as prescribed – usually it’s one tablet a day with a full glass of water – as if you happen to take too much such symptoms of an overdose as seizures, sleepiness, vertigo, rapid or slow heartbeat, coma, and low blood pressure are possible. The following mild side effects are quite common, especially in the beginning: dizziness, sweating, insomnia, blurred vision, vomiting, anxiety, sleepiness, dry mouth, weakness, nausea, weight loss, nervousness, and constipation. There’s no need to tell your doctor about these symptoms unless they get severe and affect the quality of your life.
