Venlafaxine

Venlafaxine is a serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) used to treat depression. Treatment of depression can require trial of different SNRIs or SSRIs one at a time to find the best fit for you. Noticeable improvements in mood usually appear after 4 weeks of daily use with a recommended trial period of 4 to 12 weeks.
