I'm taking venlafaxine for 20 years, isn't it too long with the same pills?
I feel I'm getting worse of my depression
Is venlafaxine still helping me?

Hi, Anaves!
Most antidepressants may begin to become less effective after long-term use... it's called "poop out".
You should talk to your doctor right away about possibly adjusting your dosage but you may need to switch to a different medication if that doesn't work.
Best regards and I hope you're feeling better quickly. Call your doctor!
