A member asked:
How long does it take for venlafaxine to work for anxiety? i've been taking the 25 mg tablets for 4 days.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
1 to 2 weeks: Venlafaxine may begin to help within 1-2 weeks. The full effect can take 4-8 weeks. So hang in there! In the meantime try to walk 15-30 minutes a day at least. Exercise helps coping with stress, anxiety and depression. Do eat a balanced diet as well. Stay away from alcohol and drugs and caffeine for now, too. Best wishes!
