@drjaleelmohammed: Venlafaxine is an antidepressant used to treat depression, anxiety, and panic disorder. It belongs to the SNRI class, increasing serotonin and noradrenaline levels in the brain. Taken once or twice daily, typically with food, it may cause side effects like nausea, dizziness, insomnia, and sweating, which usually improve over time. Regular monitoring of blood pressure is recommended, as it may increase. It takes several weeks to show effects, and stopping it abruptly can cause withdrawal symptoms. #medication #medicine #MentalHealth #psychiatry #psychiatrist

Been on Effexor for years and the excessive sweating is crazy. Nausea, too, if you don't eat with it.

I've just stopped taking venlafaxine as it has contributed in me losing teeth. I think the gum disease and bone resorbtion side effects should be discussed more!
