Venlafaxine 75mg

Venlafaxine for Anxiety and Panic Disorders

Venlor XR is an extended release capsule of Venlafaxine. There are many individuals that suffer from various types of anxiety. One of them is Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Another is Panic Disorder and both of them can prevent a person from enjoying life to the fullest. The use of medication can help by increasing the amounts of Norepinephrine and Serotonin that are found in the brain. These chemicals are responsible for the balance of our mental well being.

Venlafaxine is a medicine that is often prescribed for such needs. It seems to work well in many individuals. Many of them don’t experience many side effects either so it is a good one to try. The time release capsule means that a person will only need to take it once per day. It seems to work best when it is taken in the morning. However, some people find that they are very drowsy with it so they have to take it at night instead.

How to take Venlafaxine

Take Venlafaxine with food because if you take in on an empty stomach you may experience nausea or vomiting. Try to take it around the same time every day to help with successfully regulating the chemicals in the brain. Always follow the directions of the doctor when it comes to how much of this medicine you take. The dose will be low at first and then gradually increased if needed to offer the patient the best benefits.

It can take up to 8 weeks of using Venlafaxine though before the benefits are fully experienced. It is important to be patient and to be diligent with taking this medicine every single day. Missed doses can hinder the overall value that it offers to the patient. A common mistake patients make is that when they do start to feel better with this medicine, they stop taking it.

Always continue to take Venlafaxine until the doctor says for you to stop. Combined with therapy, anxiety situations can get under control. Some side effects of this medicine include headaches and nightmares. They should go away in a few weeks after the body gets accustomed to the medicine. Let your doctor know if you have trouble breathing, you get hives or a rash, or you can’t stop itching when you are using this medication.
