i have been taking effexor-rx for a long time and very happy with it, since my insurance company suggested I should take generic form instead i am very concern that it is the same drug and does not change anything in my body like my mood or...
please let me know your opinion. i appreciate it very much.
Is venlafaxine exactly the same igredient as effexor-rx? can I switch from effexor rx to venlafaxin?

I, personally, have had great luck with switching from brand name psych meds to the generic. I'm on Medicare so its required and oh so less expensive. As a matter of fact, all of my head meds (my name for them) are all generic and for some strange reason are made by Mylan.
Hmmmmm ... hope you do as well. Almost everyone does.
Peace and continued mental health,

Hi, I've been on this medication for more than 10 years and now they only give me the generic version, as they do with most of my medication these days, often with different manufacturers. I can honestly say it's made no difference at all, so you have absolutely nothing to worry about!
Stay strong, all the best.
