FAQ
What pack sizes does Venlor 75mg come in?
Venlor comes as 75mg capsules in packs of 30, 60, 90, 120, 180 or 270. Larger packs cost less per capsule.
What if my Venlor parcel goes missing?
If a Venlor parcel does not arrive within its delivery window, or arrives damaged, it is sent again free. If that is not possible, the order is refunded. Tracked courier to Hong Kong takes 5 to 9 business days with online tracking.
What is another name for venlafaxine?
Venlor is a branded generic of venlafaxine, the ingredient in Effexor. Venlafaxine is also sold as Viepax. Here, venlafaxine can be bought online as Venlor, and also as generic Effexor. These are generics, not the original brand.
How long does Venlor take to work?
Sleep, appetite and energy often shift within one to two weeks, but the full effect on low mood and worry usually takes four to six weeks of daily capsules. Judging it after a few days is too early — the change tends to creep up rather than arrive on one particular morning.
Can I drink alcohol with Venlor?
Alcohol adds to the drowsiness and dizziness venlafaxine can cause, and the effect is strongest in the first few weeks or after a change in dose. Heavy drinking on top of a daily capsule often brings a worse morning after than usual.
What happens if I stop Venlor suddenly?
Dizziness, nausea, headache, trouble sleeping and short electric-shock-like sensations can appear within a day or two of an abrupt stop. They ease once the dose is brought down in steps, which is why venlafaxine is usually tapered over weeks rather than stopped in one go.
Does Venlor interact with other medicines?
The most dangerous mix is an MAO inhibitor, which should not be combined with venlafaxine. Other serotonin-raising medicines such as tramadol, triptans and St John's wort can add up, and anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen or aspirin make bleeding more likely.
Can Venlor make anxiety worse before it helps?
Restlessness, jitteriness and broken sleep can show up in the first week or two, and some people feel more anxious before the calming effect builds. That early bump usually fades as the body settles into a steady level.
About Venlor
What Venlor 75mg capsules are used for
Venlor is a brand of venlafaxine, an antidepressant that also settles long-running worry. The strength stocked here is 75mg, in packs of 30 up to 270. It is taken for depression, generalised anxiety disorder (worry that hangs around most days), panic disorder and social anxiety disorder. Steady daily use is what makes it work — it is not a capsule to reach for on a bad day.
How venlafaxine works
Nerve cells release serotonin and noradrenaline, then take them back up again. Venlafaxine slows that reuptake, so more of both stay in the gaps between cells — the SNRI effect (serotonin-noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor). Nothing happens overnight. Sleep, appetite or energy often change first, while the effect on mood and anxiety builds over several weeks; the first fortnight can feel like nothing is happening at all.
Taking Venlor
Take the capsule with food, which lowers the chance of nausea, and at about the same time each day. Courses usually run for months rather than weeks. The capsules keep best in their pack, somewhere dry and out of direct sun.
Side effects to expect
Nausea, dry mouth, headache, sweating and disturbed sleep are the common ones in the first week or two, and they tend to ease. Some people feel drowsy, others restless; dizziness and constipation turn up as well. Blood pressure can creep up on venlafaxine, and it can make bleeding more likely, so unusual bruising is worth noting. A fever with stiff muscles, agitation and a racing pulse together is a rare reaction to too much serotonin and needs urgent treatment.
Venlor, Effexor and Effexor XR compared
All three hold the same active ingredient, presented differently. Effexor is tablets at 37.5mg and 75mg, Effexor XR is capsules at 75mg and 150mg, and Venlor is 75mg capsules. If a 75mg capsule is what you are after, this is the listing for it; the venlafaxine page gathers every strength and form sold here.
