I didn’t get to read through all these comments I glanced and i apologize the site is hard to navigate. To the point… I’ve been on Effexor er (Venlafaxine) for 20 years. Always on the manufacturer TEVA. Long story short i can only take TEVA brand of Venlafaxine if I don’t I go into serious withdrawals with the new generics which I’m prolly not allowed to name. And this maybe deleted. I’m just giving a heads up for my friends on Venlafaxine xr for long term watch for different manufacturers/brands. Only long term 10 years or more. I’ve always had TEVA. And they were back ordered on an Ingredient so the Venlafaxine scripts were filled by other manufacturers. Teva is now producing the generic Venlafaxine. Just call around pharmacies. If your anything like me 15-20 years on this script you’re going through severe withdrawals if you don’t take it. And these new generics don’t work for me. But again I’ve been in it that long and my CNS is used to the ingredients in Teva. And no I don’t sell anything. I can’t even find it. I’ve been taking old prescriptions. I saved. I’ve been trying to get off of it so I was dropping dosages until they ran out of TEVA and I went into morning panic attacks heart pounding again and I don’t want to freaking do anything. It’s just terrible. So I’m taking expired effexor which I told my doctor it’s just not as potent. Which beats these other generics. I was just letting my fellow Venlafaxine XR friends know.
If they happen to see changes in mood. Watch the brand. Good luck all!
