Hello
Welcome to HCM.
The half life of venlafaxine ER is around 15 hours.
A psychotic episode includes symptoms of delusion or hallucinations. There is a gross disturbance in behavior and thoughts.
If there is a psychotic episode, then antipsychotic drugs like olanzapine or risperdone (prescription drugs) are given.
Hope this answers your query.
