Uses
Your healthcare provider can prescribe Effexor XR for the treatment of:
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
- Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)
- Panic Disorder (PD)
- Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD)
Effexor works by increasing the neurotransmitters serotonin and norepinephrine. These are chemical messengers that control our moods, thoughts, and feelings in brain cells. By correcting an imbalance of these messengers, Effexor XR treats psychiatric disorders.
Dosage
Effexor XR comes as 37.5 mg, 75 mg, and 150 mg capsules.
The starting dose is 37.5-75 mg by mouth once daily. Depending on what you are taking it for, it is increased to 75-225 mg by mouth once daily.
Your doctor should increase the dose, so you are taking the lowest amount that is still effective.
