What is venlafaxine?

Effexor XR 37.5 mg 24 hr Cap
Drug Name: VENLAFAXINE SUSTAINED RELEASE

Uses: Venlafaxine is used to treat depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and social anxiety disorder (social phobia). It may improve your mood and energy level and may help restore your interest in daily living. It may also decrease fear, anxiety, unwanted thoughts, and the number of panic attacks.
