Can ativan help with the side effects when you start taking effexor (venlafaxine)?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Some people experience an increase in anxiety with starting effexor (venlafaxine). Other solutions could be starting with a smaller dose, taking Effexor (venlafaxine) with regular pudding or yogurt to delay stomach emptying or try something other than effexor (venlafaxine). Ativan can also be an alternative, but it should only be taken for a short time.
