Frequently asked questions about desvenlafaxine

What is desvenlafaxine?

Desvenlafaxine is a prescription medication used to treat depression.

What is desvenlafaxine used to treat?

Desvenlafaxine is used to treat depression. Depression, also known as major depressive disorder or clinical depression, is a type of mood disorder that negatively affects how you think, behave, and feel. Untreated depression can lead to a range of emotional and physical issues.

Common symptoms of depression include:

  • Feelings of sadness
  • Loss of interest in or pleasure in most normal activities
  • Outbursts of anger or frustration
  • Troubles with sleep such as sleeping too much or insomnia
  • Fatigue or lack of energy
  • Anxiety or agitation
  • Loss of appetite or increased craving for food
  • Feelings of worthlessness
  • Suicidal thoughts

Depression can make it difficult to carry out day-to-day tasks and affect personal relationships.

Depression affects nearly one in fifteen adults, with one in six people experiencing depression at least once in their lifetime. While there are common risk factors for depression (like hormones, brain chemistry, genetics, and environmental factors), depression can affect anyone.

How does desvenlafaxine work?

Desvenlafaxine belongs to a class of drugs known as selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), which help block the reabsorption of serotonin and norepinephrine by our brain cells. Serotonin and norepinephrine are naturally occurring chemical messengers (called neurotransmitters) that are responsible for regulating your mood and helping you feel happy. Neurotransmitters send signals between your brain and neurons in the body. Once a signal has been sent, the neuron reabsorbs the serotonin and norepinephrine to be recycled.

Reducing the brain’s reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine increases these mood-regulating neurotransmitters’ levels, which can help balance your mood and relieve a number of conditions such as stress, anxiety, and depression.

Again, call a health care provider right away if you begin noticing severe mood changes or suicidal thoughts or behaviors. In addition, seek immediate medical attention if you experience difficulty breathing, skin rash, swelling, or changes in your heartbeat while taking desvenlafaxine. As with all prescription medication, be sure to inform the prescribing doctor about any medical conditions you have been previously diagnosed with, as well as any medication/ supplements you are currently taking. Desvenlafaxine can interact with other forms of medication, causing potentially serious side effects. In addition, let your doctor know if you are pregnant or plan on becoming pregnant before starting treatment with this medication.
