Get a venlafaxine (Effexor) prescription online

If venlafaxine is right for you, a licensed provider on Sesame can write a prescription during a virtual visit. Browse providers, read reviews, and book an appointment that suits your schedule. Your provider will assess your symptoms, medical history, and needs during a face-to-face video call. They can send your venlafaxine Rx to your preferred pharmacy right away, if prescribed.

Sesame’s Mental Health Rx also gives you access to ongoing care for a fixed monthly subscription fee. This includes venlafaxine refills, visits as needed, and unlimited messaging with your dedicated provider.

No, venlafaxine is a prescription-only medication. A provider on Sesame can evaluate you during a virtual visit and write an online venlafaxine prescription if appropriate. They’ll send your prescription to your chosen pharmacy for pickup or delivery, where available.

Providers on Sesame do not prescribe controlled substances. All prescriptions are at your provider’s discretion.

Do not take venlafaxine if you have taken a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) in the past 14 days, or if you have a known hypersensitivity to venlafaxine hydrochloride.

Tell your provider before taking venlafaxine if any of the following apply to you:

• History of bipolar disorder or manic episodes
• History of seizures or convulsions
• High blood pressure or heart problems
• Liver or kidney disease
• Eye conditions, like glaucoma or increased eye pressure
• Bleeding problems
• Low blood sodium levels
• High cholesterol
• Pregnancy, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding

Venlafaxine can interact with blood-thinning medications (like warfarin), NSAIDs (like ibuprofen and naproxen), and other drugs like MAOIs, SSRIs, SNRIs, triptans, tryptophan, and St. John's wort. Be sure to give your provider a full list of medications and supplements you are taking before taking venlafaxine.
