Effexor

Venlafaxine is an inexpensive drug used to treat depression. It works by increasing the amount of serotonin and norepinephrine available in the brain. It is slightly less popular than comparable drugs. Venlafaxine is only available as a generic drug; all brands have been discontinued. Generic venlafaxine is covered by most Medicare and insurance plans, but some pharmacy coupons or cash prices may be lower.
