Effexor (venlafaxine) is an antidepressant that can have varying effects on weight. Some individuals may experience weight loss as a side effect, particularly in the early stages of treatment, while others may gain weight over time. Overall, weight changes can differ based on individual responses to the medication, lifestyle factors, and dosage. It's important to discuss any concerns about weight changes with a healthcare provider.

As far as for a cough, anything containing dextromethorphan should not be combined with Effexor unless under immediate supervision of a MD.

Some cold medicine should be avoided too because they increase blood pressure, and depending on your Effexor dosage, you might have increased blood pressure.

Yes, there is no problem in taking vitamins (calcium, iron, vit B, vit D, vit C, etc...) while taking Effexor. Even if these are taken at the same time.

Symptoms may include tiredness, mild convulsions, and cardiac arrest, but this would be with a dosage considerably higher than double your prescribed amount.

Also, since the dosage varies from person to person, depending on the severity of their condition, your normal dosage may be well below the highest recommended dosage.

If you are still concerned that you may suffer ill effects from taking a double dose, you can call your pharmacists, who can tell you if the amount you took warrants a call to your doctor. I've found that it's much quicker getting to talk to a pharmacist than it is to a doctor, which is why I would call my pharmacist first. Pharmacists are extremely well educated as to the side effects of drugs, and can give excellent, accurate advice.

It is the same drug, Effexor XR is the brand name drug made by Wyeth (now owned by Pfizer). Effexor XR is Venlafaxine XR however a generic drug would just say Venlafaxine rather than Effexor.

Alcohol is a depressant.If you are on Effexor for depression it can mess with the effectiveness of Effexor,causing more depression and anxiety.Speaking from experience,I think you can drink as long as it's not every day,and in moderation.

I am in the process of weaning off of lexapro 20mg. I have had a multitude of horrible symptoms and ringing in the ears is one of the symptoms. I am familiar with withdrawl symptoms from several anti-depressants because of trial and error with my doctor. Hang in there. It takes a while sometimes, but these things do improve or go away completely.

It took a good few weeks to get the results for anxiety it initially makes you more anxious but should start to work

Excedrin PM contains acetaminophen (Tylenol) and diphenhydramine (Benadryl).

It can be taken nightly with minimal risk, however, if you feel the need to take something for pain and sleep every night, you should speak with your doctor.

Yes.

No, Effexor (venlafaxine) doesn't increase sun sensibility. As usual, you should use a sun screen before going outside during sunny seasons.

Effexor has the potential to increase the blood-thinning effect of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. This puts you at greater risk for bleeding if you take these two drugs together. Your doctor should monitor you closely. You need to contact the doctor immediately if you have increased bleeding of your gums, heavy menstrual flow, nosebleeds, bruising, dark or red urine or dark or red stool.

ya that should be ok. i take effexor and perk sometimes

You should be getting interactions information whenever you pick up your prescriptions. Check with the pharmacist, or with your doctor(s). Do not ever mix prescription drugs without consultation with your doctor and then also, a full face-to-face discussion with the dispensing pharmacist. Try to stick to one doctor and one pharmacist. Do not stop taking prescribed medications suddenly and always ensure your doctor is aware of everything you are taking:- prescriptions; over-the-counter products; vitamins; herbs; minerals and street drugs. Do not take other people's medication. Look after yourself.

Probably not a good idea, because they both do essentially the same thing. It would be like taking twice as much as either one alone.

I am on effexor XL 150mg/day and I take E 2 weekends per month max 5-6 pills each time and I am always fine.

I saw other sites saying it can kill you, others saying they counteract eachother so E wont work then others saying it makes it better! All I can say is I have been on Effexor XL 150 once daily for 2 years and taking E is the exact same now as before I took pills!

I say do it... go enjoy enjoy yourself!
