Unresolved symptoms are a risk factor for a relapse or recurrence of depression. Learn about a treatment option to relieve symptoms of depression and help keep them from coming back.

Effexor XR may be an important treatment option in the journey toward achieving remission. It is an SNRI (a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor) and affects two neurotransmitters in the brain thought to be important in treating depression and anxiety disorders. Effexor XR is approved by the FDA to treat depression, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety disorder (SAD), and panic disorder (PD) with or without agoraphobia.

In clinical studies, Effexor XR has been proven to treat depression and to help prevent it from coming back. If you are experiencing depression symptoms, you may want to talk with your doctor about the importance of achieving remission and about Effexor XR as one treatment option that may help you reach that goal.
