BUY EFFEXOR

Effexor belongs to antidepressants (serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor type-SNRI). It is applied for treatment of depression and anxiety. The principle of its work consists in restoring the balance of natural substances (neurotransmitters such as serotonin and norepinephrine) in the brain. Effexor may decrease nervousness and improve your mood, feelings of well-being, and energy level.

HOW TO USE EFFEXOR:

Ask your doctor all the questions that may interest you. It is necessary to apply effexor with food (2-3 times a day) or as prescribed by your doctor. Dosage depends on your medical condition and response to treatment. The usual maximum dose for an adult is 375 milligrams each day. To reduce your risk of side effects, your doctor may direct you to start taking this drug at a low dose and gradually increase your dose. Keep closely your doctor's prescriptions. Do not change your dosage, because it may result in serious side effects. Take effexor regularly and at the same time, in order not to forget. It is important to continue taking this medication even if you feel well. Sudden stop of taking the remedy may result in side effects. Your dose may need to be gradually decreased. Be carefull, because the remedy may cause dependence. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details, and report any withdrawal reactions immediately. Several weeks may pass before you feel the full benefit of this medication. Inform your doctor in the case of worsening or persisting your conditions.

EFFEXOR SIDE EFFECTS:

You may experience dizziness, nausea, headache, drowsiness, weakness, dry mouth, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, blurred vision, tiredness, nervousness, trouble sleeping, sweating, or yawning. Inform your doctor in the case of worsening or persisting any of the effexor side effects. Your blood pressure should be checked regularly while you are taking this medication. If you experience such unusual but serious side effects as fainting, severe/pounding headache, unusual or severe mental/mood changes (e.g., extreme anxiety, unusual high energy/excitement, rare thoughts of suicide), shakiness (tremor), change in the amount of urine, stomach/abdominal pain, chest pain, persistent cough, shortness of breath, bloody/black/tarry stools, decreased interest in sex, changes in sexual ability, difficulty urinating, vomit that looks like coffee grounds, easy bruising/bleeding, fast/irregular/pounding heartbeat, muscle weakness/cramps, yellowing eyes/skin, dark urine, seizures, unusual tiredness inform your doctor immediately. Effexor may rarely cause a very serious condition called serotonin syndrome. If you take the remedy with such drugs such as "triptans" used to treat migraine headaches (e.g., sumatriptan, eletriptan), certain antidepressants including SSRIs (e.g., paroxetine, citalopram) and other SNRIs (e.g., duloxetine), lithium, tramadol, tryptophan, or a certain drug to treat obesity (sibutramine) the risk of serotonin syndrome increases. Your doctor should know if you are taking any of the mentioned above medications. Serotonin syndrome may be more likely when you start or increase the dose of any of these medications. If you experience severe dizziness, unexplained fever, severe nausea/vomiting/diarrhea, hallucinations, restlessness, loss of coordination, fast heartbeat, twitchy muscles ask for immediate medical help. For males, in the very unlikely event you have a painful or prolonged erection lasting 4 or more hours, stop using this drug and seek immediate medical attention, or permanent problems could occur. If you experience serious allergic reaction ask for medical help. Symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include: severe dizziness, rash, itching, swelling, trouble breathing. Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you experience some not listed effexor side effects. Don't forget that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious effexor side effects.

EFFEXOR PRECAUTIONS:

Tell your doctor if you have any allergic reaction.

This drug may make you dizzy or drowsy. Use caution while driving, using machinery, or doing any other activity that requires alertness. Avoid alcohol. Elder people are more sensitive to the side effect of the medication. The elderly are more likely to lose too much salt (hyponatremia), especially if they are also taking "water pills" (diuretics) with this medication. In children the medication may influence height and weight. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details. Effexor is not recommended for use during pregnancy. It may harm an unborn baby. Also, babies born to mothers who have used this drug during the last 3 months of pregnancy may infrequently develop withdrawal symptoms such as feeding/breathing difficulties, seizures, muscle stiffness, or constant crying. If you notice any of these symptoms in your newborn, tell the doctor promptly. Since untreated depression can be a serious condition, do not stop taking effexor unless directed by your doctor. If you are planning pregnancy, become pregnant, or think you may be pregnant, immediately discuss the benefits and risks of using this medication during pregnancy with your doctor.

EFFEXOR INTERACTIONS:

Your doctor or pharmacist may already be acquainted with any possible effexor interactions. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicine before checking with them first. In combination with such drugs as MAO inhibitors (e.g., furazolidone, isocarboxazid, linezolid, moclobemide, phenelzine, procarbazine, rasagiline, selegiline, tranylcypromine) with effexor for 2 weeks before treatment, during treatment, and at least 7 days after your last dose of effexor, weight loss drugs (e.g., phentermine, sibutramine), tryptophan. If you are currently using any of these medications, tell your doctor or pharmacist before starting effexor may result in very serious (even fatal) effexor interaction. Certain drugs that may affect the heart rhythm (QTc prolongation in the EKG) include amiodarone, dofetilide, pimozide, quinidine, sotalol, procainamide, thioridazine, and erythromycin, among others. Effexor may increase the risk of this effect. QTc prolongation can infrequently result in a serious (rarely fatal) irregular heartbeat. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details and for instructions on how you may reduce this risk of this effect. Tell your doctor about all the medications you are taking, especially of: drugs affecting liver enzymes that remove effexor from your body (e.g., cimetidine, azole antifungals such as ketoconazole, itraconazole), drugs removed from your body by certain liver enzymes (e.g., antipsychotics such as clozapine/ haloperidol, HIV medications such as indinavir, tricyclic antidepressants-TCAs such as desipramine), "water pills" (diuretics such as furosemide), drugs that can cause bleeding/bruising (e.g., aspirin, antiplatelet drugs such as clopidogrel, NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, "blood thinners" such as heparin/warfarin). Aspirin can increase the risk of bleeding when used with this medication. If your doctor has directed you to take low-dose aspirin for heart attack or stroke prevention (usually at dosages of 81-325 milligrams a day), you should continue taking it unless your doctor instructs you. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor. Also tell your doctor if you take any other drugs that increase serotonin, such as lithium, meperidine, propoxyphene, buspirone, dextromethorphan, SSRIs, other SNRIs, St. John's wort, drugs used to treat migraines such as "triptans" and dihydroergotamine, street drugs such as MDMA/"ecstasy, " amphetamine. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you also take drugs that cause drowsiness such as: certain antihistamines (e.g., diphenhydramine), anti-seizure drugs (e.g., carbamazepine), medicine for sleep or anxiety (e.g., diazepam, alprazolam, zolpidem), muscle relaxants, narcotic pain relievers (e.g., codeine), psychiatric medicines (e.g., chlorpromazine, risperidone, amitriptyline, trazodone). Look through the labels on all your medications to find out contain ingredients that cause drowsiness. Ask your pharmacist about using those products safely. Cimetidine is a nonprescription drug that is commonly used to treat extra stomach acid. Because it may cause undesirable interactions when used with effexor, ask your pharmacist about other products to treat stomach acid.
