Efexor XR 150mg Capsule contains Venlafaxine 150mg, an SNRI antidepressant. It is prescribed for depression, generalised anxiety disorder, social anxiety and panic disorder. Pack size: 14s.

Uses of Efexor XR 150mg Capsule

Efexor XR 150mg Capsule is used to treat depression and several anxiety conditions, including generalised anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder and panic disorder. It can help improve mood, sleep, concentration and interest in daily life, and reduce constant worry and physical anxiety symptoms. Benefits usually appear gradually over a few weeks, and treatment generally continues for some months after you feel better.

How Efexor XR 150mg Capsule works

Venlafaxine is a serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor (SNRI). It stops nerve cells from taking back these two chemical messengers too quickly, so more remain active in the brain. Over time this helps regulate mood and the body’s response to stress and anxiety.

Possible side effects

Some people get side effects when starting Efexor XR 150mg Capsule, which often settle over time. Common ones include:

• Nausea
• Sweating
• Dizziness
• Dry mouth
• Trouble sleeping or drowsiness
• Constipation

Contact your doctor at once if you have thoughts of self-harm or suicide, or feel very agitated. Get urgent medical help for a fit, chest pain, a fast or irregular heartbeat, or confusion with fever and muscle twitching.

Precautions and warnings

• Do not stop it suddenly, as withdrawal symptoms such as dizziness, electric-shock sensations and anxiety are common; your doctor will reduce it gradually.
• Your blood pressure may be checked, as it can rise during treatment.
• Tell your doctor about heart disease, high blood pressure, epilepsy, glaucoma or bleeding problems, and about other medicines including MAOIs, tramadol, triptans and blood thinners.
• Avoid alcohol and do not drive until you know how it affects you.
• Discuss pregnancy plans or breastfeeding with your doctor before starting or stopping treatment.
