Summary
In this episode, I discuss venlafaxine pharmacology, adverse effect, dose conversion of IR to ER, and drug interactions.
Venlafaxine is notorious for producing withdrawal symptoms when discontinued abruptly. I discuss these in detail on the podcast.
How significant is the interaction of venlafaxine with antiplatelet agents? I discuss that in this episode.
The onset of action is a critical education point that patients must be aware of as it takes some time for venlafaxine to work.
