Discussions tagged “Venlafaxine ER”

Venlafaxine ER is an antidepressant medication that works by affecting certain natural chemicals in the brain (serotonin and norepinephrine) that help regulate mood. It's used to treat depression, anxiety disorders, and panic disorder. The 'ER' means extended-release, so it's taken once a day. I'm on 150mg and have been struggling with some side effects. Difficulty sleeping, nausea, and feeling jittery have been tough. I've heard about some serious side effects too. Has anyone experienced anything like this? Any tips for managing the side effects? I feel like I'm not alone in this but need some advice. What has worked for you all?
