A member asked:
Does long term intake of antidepressants make you age faster, or less live expectancy, any study on this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antidepressants: See that you take Effexor (venlafaxine). No of no studies that indicate that Effexor (venlafaxine) or other SNRI's would reduce life expectancy. Take care.
