Common uses and directions for Effexor
Effexor (venlafaxine hydrochloride) is indicated for the
treatment of major depressive disorder.
A major depressive episode implies a prominent and relatively persistent
depressed or dysphoric mood that usually interferes with daily functioning.
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. In outpatient settings
there was no evidence of usefulness of doses greater than 225 mg./day for
moderately depressed patients, but more severely depressed inpatients
responded to a mean dose of 350 mg./day. Certain patients, including more
severely depressed patients, may therefore respond more to higher doses, up
to a maximum of 375 mg/day, generally in three divided doses.
Common side effects include somnolence, insomnia,
dizziness, nervousness, dry mouth, anxiety, gastrointestinal, nausea,
urogenital, abnormal, ejaculation, headache, astheni and sweating.
