Effexor Attorneys
Effexor (Venlafaxine hydrochloride) is a prescription antidepressant
used in the treatment of clinical depression, anxiety disorders, and bipolar
disorder. Introduced by Wyeth in 1993, it belongs to a class of antidepressants
called Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRI). Effexor has
been linked to suicide, suicidal ideation, suicidal behavior and suicide
attempts
In October of 2004 a Black Box Warning was issued for Effexor advising
of risk of suicide. The Black Box warning advises physicians to carefully
monitor patients for suicide risk at start of usage and whenever the dosage
is changed. There is an additional risk if a physician misinterprets patient
expression of adverse effects such as panic or akathisia (inner restlessness)
as symptoms of worsening depression rather than effects of the medication
and increases dose. Assessment of patient history and risk factors such
as drug abuse are recommended when evaluating the safety of Effexor for
individual patients.
