Medication is usually prescribed and tailored to the patient by a doctor. Best to confer with your doctor regarding medication. Venlafaxine is also known as Effexor.

I was on Paxil for many years. Then it stopped working. My psychiatrist
put me on Prozac. That has worked for many years. I just had to increase the
dose a few times. I didn't have side effects. But everyone is different. Talk to your doctor.
