hi Mari.

good luck with the Effexor.

is the 37.5 mg in a single daily dose, or divided?

i hope that is low enough...

i read it should be taken with food, and went to look up why. apparently food slows absorption, but does not cause you to absorb more or less of it.

Pharmacokinetics and effect of food on the bioavailability of orally administered venlafaxine

Quote:
A standard, medium-fat breakfast eaten immediately before drug administration delayed the tmax of venlafaxine but did not affect Cmax or AUC. Therefore the tablet formulation of venlafaxine is bioequivalent to the oral solution, and the presence of food appears to decrease the rate but not the extent of absorption of venlafaxine from the tablet formulation.
i hope this drug helps you.
