What is Effexor? (Venlafaxine)
Effexor is a Serotonin Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor antidepressant that was first introduced in 1993 and by 2007 was the sixth most commonly prescribed antidepressant in the U.S. Many physicians are prescribing Effexor for the treatment of diabetic neuropathy and migraines, however Venlafaxine can exacerbate or cause migraines.
Effexor may lower the seizure threshold and coadministering with other medications that also lower this threshold (including Bupropion and Tramadol) should be done with caution. Caution should also be used combining Effexor with St. John’s Wort due to a potential for Serotonin Syndrome. Effexor lost its patent protection in August 2006 and Pristiq (Desvenlafaxine )was approved In January 2007. Many patients can experience an SSRI Discontinuation Syndrome (withdrawal symptoms) if Effexor is abruptly or too rapidly reduced. A gradual dose reduction is recommended.
