Take this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully. To reduce your risk of side effects, your doctor may direct you to start this medication at a low dose and gradually increase your dose. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Take this medication by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually 2 to 3 times daily with food. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Read the Medication Guide provided by your pharmacist before you start using venlafaxine and each time you get a refill. Be especially watchful for these symptoms when a new antidepressant is started or when the dose is changed. Tell the doctor right away if you notice worsening depression/other psychiatric conditions, unusual behavior changes (including possible suicidal thoughts/attempts), or other mental/mood changes (including new/worsening anxiety, panic attacks, trouble sleeping, irritability, hostile/angry feelings, impulsive actions, severe restlessness, very rapid speech). It is very important to talk with the doctor about the risks and benefits of antidepressant medication (especially for people younger than 25), even if treatment is not for a mental/mood condition. However, a small number of people (especially people younger than 25) who take antidepressants for any condition may experience worsening depression, other mental/mood symptoms, or suicidal thoughts/attempts.
These medications can help prevent suicidal thoughts/attempts and provide other important benefits.
Antidepressant medications are used to treat a variety of conditions, including depression and other mental/ mood disorders.
