What is venlafaxine ER?
Venlafaxine ER (generic Effexor XR) is a prescription drug used to treat a range of mental health conditions, including major depressive disorder (MDD), social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and panic disorder.
While effective in treating a range of mental health conditions, venlafaxine ER has been shown in rare cases to increase suicidal thoughts and actions in patients under the age of 24. If you are feeling suicidal, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255, text them at 741741, or dial 911.
What are common side effects of venlafaxine ER?
While adverse reactions to venlafaxine ER are rare, some patients who take the drug experience mild side effects, including nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth, sweating, abnormal ejaculation, anorexia, constipation, erectile dysfunction, and decreased libido.
Rare, more serious events have been known to occur. If you are concerned that venlafaxine ER is causing you to experience any number of side effects, please visit the National Institutes of Health’s DailyMed webpage.
