D-Veniz 50Mg Tablet Xr Health Feed

Asked for male, 54 years old from Ranchi

My 23 years old obese (111 kg) daughter is suffering from anxiety and depression for last four years. Apart from many medications taken during initial stages, she has recently taken d-veniz (100 mg), prothiaden (75 mg) & toficalm (100 mg) for gad and mdd for more than one year but there is no improvement. Whatever medications she takes, she feels no change and hence no any betterment. Now, an another psychiatrist has just prescribed her fluoxetine (20 mg), desvenlafaxine (100 mg), (flupentixol+melitracen) and clonazepam (0.5 mg). He says she has the anxiety more than depression. She has just started the medicines. Has anything gone wrong in diagnosis or she is the resistant to drug/depression? May I kindly request you to kindly suggest me the right course of action we should take along with the duration in which she may recover fully.

A detailed psychological evaluation will help us understand the dynamics of her mental health. She may benefit from one on one psychotherapy sessions which will help her appraise her maladaptive beliefs and overcome both depression and ocd. Research shows that the efficacy of treatment as well as maintenance of gains is much better if medications and psychotherapy are taken together.

My advice is that you seek counseling help even now to prevent any relapse and to learn new skills, tools, and techniques to otherwise cope. Then you could talk to your doctor about tapering off your medication.

Combiflam ,may delay the metabolism of D-Veniz, but that may not be causing any serious side effects, discuss with your doctor who may tune the medication accordingly.

Yes you can but under a psychiatrist advise, because there must have been a reason for the change. Like some physical problems, side effect or drug resistance or something the psychiatrist suspected. So it is advisable you discuss your condition with a psychiatrist and the re-start.

Both drugs have their own merits and demerits, though they are given for the same purposes. In some individuals desvenlafaxine works better than mirtazapine and vice versa. It is the Doctor Who observes and chooses the better one for the individual need.

Hello lybrate-user,
Both the salts have their pros and cons and it all depends on the patient's overall symptomatology when it comes of choosing one. None of them is outrightly superior over the other.
Please be warned that you must not take tale any of these without consulting a psychiatrist. Sometimes a wrong choice of drug or a wrong dose can lead to serious health problems and worsening of anxiety.

Hello Lybrate User
You need to consult to your psychiatrist for the same as you have been taking the medication on and off. Moreover, try to figure out that what is causing the anxiety within you. Because it is very important to understand the 'what' of anxiety so that you can also discuss about it and it will lower down to a level. Regards.

Asked for female, 26 years old from Jamshedpur

I am 26 years old .i m taking mddxr 100 desvenlafaxine is it safe for pregnancy. I want to be pregnant.

Dr. Gitanjali

Desvenlafaxine is FDA category C drug,it's given in pregnancy only if it's use outweighs it's risk
You should consult your doctor as it should not be stopped abruptly as it may cause withdrawal symptoms.
If your doctor feels you need to switch over to another antidepressants he will change the medicine
