Venlafaxine Is It A Narcotic

I would like to know as my doctor prescribed them to me and they made me feel like a zombie. ## Hello, Jessie! How are you? No, the U.S. FDA classifies it as an SNRI antidepressant and its typical side effects may possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and weight changes. What types of effects did you experience that made you feel that way? How long were you taking it?

I went 6 weeks without the two. I have chronic back pain from surgery that went wrong and fibro...

Mine says for pain and mood. In what way would this help pain? Or maybe I should rephrase what is in it to relieve pain? ## Hello, Suzette! How are you? It can help with some types of nerve pain, due to it's action in the brain. Many people have had good luck with these types of medications, which means they can avoid resorting to possibly habit forming narcotics. Thus, there's nothing else special in it, it's the Venlafaxine itself that can help. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with?

There are some cases where these have been shown to help people with certain types of nerve pain, however, they are not addictive substances like narcotics. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, weight gain and headache. Read more: In the future, this imprint will probably change and the 93 will be replaced by the word TEVA, they have been slowly phasing out the current imprint. Are there any comments or questions?
