Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I took 75 mg of Effexor XR for about 11 years and did well. Cost took over and I was told to take the generic. I am now taking 300 mg of Venlafaxine XR and another 300 mg of Bupropion (which I had never taken before). I have been out of work for 6 months on short term disability because the depression got worst over time and I could not do my job. (I am -was- a computer programmer and couldn't keep things straight - still can't.) Now I have no job no income and no disability income. My life has turned upside down. If I went back on Brand Name Effexor XR would that help? Thank you,
