Venlafaxine is an antidepressant drug, used for the treatment of major depressive disorder, social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and general anxiety disorder.

Venlafaxine belongs to a class of medications known as SNRIs (serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors) that help maintain and regulate your mental health. In some cases, venlafaxine is used to treat hot flashes due to menopause, or to those who are taking medication to treat breast cancer.

Doctors prescribe venlafaxine to treat a range of mental health disorders. It is often used, for example, to treat major depressive disorder, which is characterized by a persistently depressed mood and a loss of interest in everyday activities. Venlafaxine can also be prescribed to treat panic disorder, a sudden feeling of intense fear - often leading to a panic attack - that manifests even though there is no real danger.

Venlafaxine also treats generalized anxiety disorder, which causes prolonged feelings of anxiousness and worry that can impair everyday function. In some cases, doctors may even use venlafaxine to treat social phobias, in which social situations cause patients anxiety.

Venlafaxine belongs to a class of drugs known as selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). Serotonin and norepinephrine are chemical messengers (called neurotransmitters) that are responsible for regulating your mood and helping you feel happy. These hormones are produced naturally by the neurons in your brain and are used to send signals between neurons (or nerves). Once a signal has been sent, the neuron reabsorbs the serotonin and epinephrine to be recycled.

Sometimes neurons reabsorb these hormones too quickly - before they can tell your brain to feel happy - resulting in low levels of these mood-regulating chemicals. Reducing the brain’s reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine can help balance your mood and relieve a number of conditions such as stress, anxiety, and depression.
