Effexor (venlafaxine) is an antidepressant in a group of drugs called selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SSNRIs). Venlafaxine affects chemicals in the brain that may become unbalanced and cause depression. Effexor is used to treat major depressive disorder, anxiety, and panic disorder. An Effexor addiction can result when a person continues to abuse the drug in an attempt to get high (an intense euphoric reaction to a drug). .

Is it safe to take echinacea while on Effexor?
Yes.
Excedrin contains acetaminophen (Tylenol), aspirin, and caffeine. All three of these are safe to take with Effexor, a SNRI used to treat depression, as well as used off-label to treat migraines.
Can you take Tylenol together with Effexor?
I don't see why not. I have been on welbutrin for a while now and have had scripts for both oxycodone and hydrocodone...which are technically a morphine derivative, nut they were Apap, which means it has a certain amount of Tylenol in it.
Can I mix NyQuil with Effexor?
Nyquil contains dextromethorphan which should not be mixed with antidepressants. This is now listed on the pamphlet that comes with the drug from the pharmacy. Several years ago, before this was listed on the pamphlet, I took Nyquil and was also taking Prozac. I ended up having terrible hallucinations and was put in the hospital for a few days because I was having trouble walking.
What does pravastin do for choestrol?
Pravastatin is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs called statins, which are used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood.

Additionally, pravastatin can help raise levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, or "good" cholesterol, and may also have beneficial effects on triglyceride levels. Overall, it helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by managing cholesterol levels.

Can you take st johns wort and Effexor?
The combination should not cause any problems, (THIS IS AN EDIT: Actually, taking the two in combination will cause problems as they both do effect chemicals in the brain. I recently talked to a pharmacist about this combination and was warned that it could be exceedingly dangerous. There is also numerous studies done that have verified the danger.) but I would advise against taking Venlafaxine Hydrochloride (Effexor) as the side effects reveal that it may not only increase your depression, but cause a whole host of other problems too. The drug is designed to change the chemicals in your brain, and balance them out; but what if that went wrong? Most pills are not altering the brain - I would not trust one that did.
Side Effects:
I would not trust a pill or a doctor with my life, except in emergency situations. You should not either. If you continue to take Effexor, then you must avoid all alcohol, as the combination can be fatal. Take care of yourself. Click on my username and send me a message, and I will recommend some herbal treatments for depression which have worked for both me and people that I know.
(ANOTHER EDIT: Please do talk with a doctor if you believe you need one or both of these. They have been professionally trained to help diagnose and treat these kinds of things. Herbs are considered medicinal too and should be treated with as much caution as drugs as they can both interact and cause desirable/undesirable side effects. As for side effects...well, everything has side effects, even water. That is why it is best to talk with a doctor.)
Can Effexor make it difficult to urinate?
The short answer is "yes." This may especially occur when you begin treatment or change doses. In my experience, it passed within a day or two. More information is available if you google "effexor" and "urination."
Can you take Tylenol pm with Effexor xr?
Yes, Tylenol PM/cold products contain acetaminophen and antihistamines with or without decongestants, and would be OK to take with the antidepressant Effexor.
That is an overwhelming amount of information. Just from the paracetamol alone you are puting yourself at risk of liver problems.
lisinopril should be tapered slowly and not discontinued abruptly.
What is the minimum dose of Effexor?
The recommended starting dose for Effexor is 75 mg/day, administered in two or three divided doses, taken with food. Depending on tolerability and the need for further clinical effect, the dose may be increased to 150 mg/day. If needed, the dose should be further increased up to 225 mg/day. When increasing the dose, increments of up to 75 mg/day should be made at intervals of no less than 4 days.
Can you combine xanax and Effexor 150mg?
Mixing drugs is never recommended, but because your just trying to get high anyways go for it. Whats the worst that could happen? 1acting dumb and annoying 2 Seizures 3 Death
Can you take Effexor and Wellbutrin together?
You can, and in fact some treatment protocols call for both of these medications together.
However, it should be noted that antidepressants are odd drugs, and reports of a deepening of the depression exist. If, when taking these two meds in combination, you feel worse, or even suicidal, let your doc know this combination isn't working for you.
Most of the time, however, the combination is quite effective.
Could Adderrall 10 mg twice a day and Effexor XR 150mg cause you to have weird tics?
Can you take Effexor and creatine at the same time?
Well I've tried it and it has increased my irritability and made me feel uneasy and aggressive.
How do you switch from taking 225 mg of Effexor to 60 mg of Cymbalta?
3-4 days@ 150 mg Effexor and 30mg Cymbalta
3-4 days @75 mg Effexor and 30 mg Cymbalta
3-4 days @37.5 mg Effexor and 60 mg Cymbalta
I am changing from 300mg of effexor to cymbalta
the doc is first dropping the effexor xr 75mg to 225 for a week, and then down 150 for a week, clymbalta increasing to 60mg, and from the 150mg, down 37.5mg until weaned off effexor with increasing cymbalta.
that is how my doctor wants to do it, however over Christmas holidays we are not touching anything, and at any time if i feel wrong i am to go directly to the hospital. talk to your doc. good luck

Quit The Prescription Junk Forever!Reduction Chart Below
HELP LINE - www.RedfordHelp.com
Realize you are fighting a well-armed enemy. That is… it once was a friend, but now it's an enemy. Your enemy… and it wants to take away from your life whatever it can.
If done correctly, you do not have to suffer. Let me say that again… <-
This enemy looks benign, it is just a pill; but it has gripped itself deep within your person.
You have to "decide" you are going to defeat it. In reality it is not that complicated to accomplish, it is just a pill, yup… a stupid pill and it is messing up your life. Get mad at it!
If it takes many months to slowly tapper off, you are still achieving your goal… one reduction at a time.
No one but you can set the pace to slow to a stop and it is okay to change the pace along the way. The goal is to not quit the process of quitting, ever.
Once you have "decided" you are going to win, telling anyone but the people helping you about your plan is a bad idea that puts unnecessary pressure on you. Do not let the pressure of what others think effect you in any way when it comes to quitting. What they think is not important to you at all. You are going to war, and they are not in the war.
Establish your plan. It is okay if your plan changes but make a plan, on paper is best.
Example: Although the MGs will vary greatly, the percentages below are a good place to start. If at any reduction you experience side effects that you can't take, CHANGE YOUR PLAN! This is the only time it is okay to increase your dosage back to where your last reduction was.
Starting Dosage - 16MG daily.
First Reduction 25% or 12 MG daily
Second Reduction 25% or 8MG daily
You have already reduced by 50%!!! This is a great accomplishment!!!
Third Reduction 12.5% or 6MG daily
Fourth Reduction 12.5% or 4 MG daily
You have already reduced by 75%!!! This is a great, great accomplishment!!!
Fifth Reduction 6.25% or 3 MG daily
Sixth Reduction 6.25% or 2 MG Daily
You have reduced by 90%... GREAT!
Seventh Reduction 6.25% or 1 MG Daily
You have reduced by 96.25% !!!
At this point you have practically quit the junk, only 3.75% to go. Just continue the reduction as gently as you can. The whole process can take months to come to a full stop, that is fine, just make a plan and keep to it unless you need to back step a reduction. Your plan and not increasing your dosage is a key to success. Especially mentally, as you are setting a plan you are comfortable with and if you keep to it you will experience great satisfaction at every decrease. It is a great idea to celebrate each reduction, go out to dinner or whatever is special to you. MAKE SOMETHING OF IT!! Before you know it, it will be a thing of the past, just stick to your plan as it evolves, and don't stop stopping!
Bless God!
