Get a venlafaxine (Effexor) or venlafaxine ER (Effexor XR) prescription online for depression

If venlafaxine alone does not fully manage your anxiety symptoms, your provider may adjust your dose or add on options like buspirone, short-term therapy with a benzodiazepine (like lorazepam or clonazepam), an atypical antipsychotic (like aripiprazole or quetiapine), or a beta-blocker (like propranolol) to control physical anxiety symptoms like a racing heart.

Psychological therapies, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), are also frequently combined with venlafaxine.

Venlafaxine is currently only available via prescription. This means the use of this drug must be authorized by a licensed health care provider.

Providers on Sesame can write a prescription—or refill an existing one—during a virtual or in-person visit. Depending on the medication, you can arrange for same-day pickup at a pharmacy near you. Book an online consultation with a real, licensed provider on Sesame today to determine whether or not venlafaxine is right for you.

Note that all prescriptions are at the discretion of your health care provider. Providers on Sesame cannot prescribe controlled substances.
