A member asked:

Effexor (venlafaxine) 150 mg daily, been experiencing symptoms...should i be concerned about forgetting it two days straight?

Get back on it: It is not good to miss your medication but missing two days of Effexor (venlafaxine) is not catastrophic. Get back on your medication and find a way to stay regular.

Effexor (venlafaxine): At this high dose, some unpleasant symptoms can occur, but if u had none, go back on it & inform your doctor.
