What is venlafaxine?

Venlafaxine can be better known by one of its brands, Effexor®, and is an antidepressant. It falls into the class of drugs called SSNRIS or SNRIS (selected inhibitors of reuing serotonin and norepinephrine) and inhibits the receptors in the brain that quickly use these neurotransmitters, making serotonin and norepinephrine much more accessible. People who use this medicine can experience an increase in mood or anxiety, although not all people respond to the drug-can take a while to find the most effective antidepressant or against anxiety agency for each individual. As with most drugs, venlafaxine is not suitable for all, it is contraindicated in the presence of some conditions or when other medicines are used and also contains some serious warnings during use and interruption.

EFFEXOR® is mainly used to treat depressionbox anxiety, but does not tend to be suitable for other mood disorders such asis a bipolar disorder. Ačkoli několik lidí s bipolárním stavem používá léky, jako je effexor® se stabilizátory nálady, jedním nebezpečím SNRIS je to, že mohou vytvořit mánii u lidí s bipolárním, kteří jsou nesprávně diagnostikováni jako deprese. Mezi další stavy, které mohou kontraindikovat používání venlafaxinu, patří poruchy srážení krve, onemocnění ledvin, onemocnění jater, těhotenství, epilepsie, glaukom, hypertenze nebo vysoký cholesterol. Některé léky, jako je aspirin, warfarin, ibuprofen a další, by se s lékem neměly používat, a zejména použití inhibitorů monoamin oxidázy (jiná třída antidepresiv) je potenciálně nebezpečná. Lékaři se mohou rozhodnout, kdy a kdy předepisují venlafaxin na základě přezkumu anamnézy pacienta a seznamu všech léků, předepsaných nebo přes pult, které pacient v současné době používá.

In addition, there is a serious warning of most antidepressivs in young adults and children and relates to venlafaxine. A drug can cause an increase in suicide,Although it did not exist before.

Another serious warning tends to apply to this medicine. Some people who interrupted this medicine quickly without any form of narrowing can hold the withdrawal.
