Effexor XR
Efexor XR capsules contain the active ingredient venlafaxine hydrochloride, which is a type of antidepressant known as a
serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor (SNRI). This type of medicine acts on nerve cells in the brain.
In the brain there are numerous different chemical compounds called neurotransmitters.
These act as chemical messengers between the nerve cells.
Serotonin and noradrenaline are two such neurotransmitters and have various functions that we know of.
When serotonin and noradrenaline are released from nerve cells in the brain they act to lighten mood.
When they are reabsorbed into the nerve cells, they no longer have an effect on mood.
It is thought that when depression occurs, there may be a decreased amount of serotonin and noradrenaline released from nerve cells in the brain.
Venlafaxine works by preventing serotonin and noradrenaline from being reabsorbed back into the nerve cells in the brain.
This helps prolong the mood lightening effect of any released serotonin and noradrenaline.
In this way, venlafaxine helps relieve depression. It is also helpful for relieving depression that is accompanied by anxiety.
Efexor XR is additionally licensed to treat generalised anxiety disorder, which is a chronic disorder also thought to result
from disturbances in the activity of noradrenaline and serotonin in the brain.
It may take between two to four weeks for the benefits of this medicine to appear, so it is very important
that you keep taking it, even if it doesn't seem to make much difference at first.
If you feel your depression or anxiety has got worse, or if you have any distressing thoughts or feelings in these first few weeks,
then you should talk to your doctor.
Once you are feeling better, your doctor will usually ask you to continue taking this medicine to minimise
the chances of your depression coming back, or to prevent you from becoming depressed in the future.
The length of time you take the medicine will vary from person to person, but should be for at least six months after things are back to normal.
Efexor XR capsules are extended release capsules that should be taken once a day at around the same time each day.
They are designed to release the venlafaxine slowly and continuously over several hours to help
provide steady blood levels of the medicine throughout the day. These capsules must be swallowed whole to avoid damaging the extended release action.
Dosage
For both depression and anxiety, the usual starting dose is 75 mg once daily taken with food, although some people
begin with a dose of 37.5 mg for the first 4 to 7 days. Your doctor may gradually increase the dose, in steps of no more than 75 mg, up to a
maximum of 225 mg daily. As with regular Effexor, the doctor will make adjustments in your dosage if you have kidney or liver disease.
