What is Desvenlafaxine?
Desvenlafaxine is an antidepressant medication used to treat major depressive disorder. It belongs to a class of drugs called serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) that work by increasing the levels of serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain, two neurotransmitters that regulate mood, sleep, appetite, and other bodily functions. Desvenlafaxine is available in tablet form and is typically taken once a day with or without food.
What are Desvenlafaxine's Side Effects?
Like most medications, desvenlafaxine may cause side effects, although not everyone will experience them. Some common side effects include:
Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea
Headache, dizziness, drowsiness
Insomnia or unusual dreams
Dry mouth

How is Desvenlafaxine Prescribed?
Desvenlafaxine is a prescription medication and should only be taken under the guidance of a healthcare professional. The dosage and duration of treatment will depend on the individual's medical condition, response to treatment, and other medications they may be taking.
