Effexor XR is a new antidepressant with a novel chemical structure. Effexor XR has a structure that does not resemble those of any currently used antidepressants. Effexor is not a tricyclic antidepressant or an MAO inhibitor.
Effexor XR seems to have the relative freedom from side-effects associated with the SSRIs [fluoxetine (Prozac), sertraline (Zoloft), paroxetine (Paxil), and fluvoxamine (Luvox)] and the impact on both serotonin and norepinephrine associated with the tricyclic antidepressants [amitriptyline (Elavil), imipramine (Tofranil), etc.]. It is hypothesized that the action of the Effexor XR molecule upon both serotonin and norepinephrine will cause Effexor XR to be a successful antidepressant for some people who have not responded to treatment with SSRIs.
As Effexor XR and its active metabolite have relatively short half-lives, 4 hours and 11 hours respectively, Effexor XR should be administered in divided does, two or three times a day.

Effexor XR is an antidepressant medication. It affects chemicals in your brain that may become unbalanced and cause depression. Effexor XR is most commonly used to relieve symptoms of depression such as feelings of sadness, worthlessness, or guilt; loss of interest in daily activities; changes in appetite; tiredness; sleeping too much; insomnia; and thoughts of death or suicide. Effexor XR is also used to relieve symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder.
