Despite two different tables two different effects
Posted , 4 users are following.
I've been on venlafaxine for three years now. I've always taken 100 mg tablet. Which are oval. In the past six months or so the Pham has given me the same name, same dose. However they are round. At first , starting the round tablet, I noticed having hot flashes, feeling like I missed a dose, unable to continue simple task. I called the pharmacy they say there shouldn't be any difference. Well there is duh. The best I can describe is the oval tablet is the best for me the imprint on it IP 305 the round tablet imprint is 93 other side 7383. Talking to the pharmacy they are NO longer carrying the one that works for me. I picked up the last thirty in town. Ugh. Please help. Tyia

Why don't you use this as an oppurtunity to quit. There's lots of advice and support on here. You can do it now and spare your self this misery later on.

You can economise $$ by getting a prescription for the highest strength of Efexor brand of venlafaxine capsules which contain beads. The beads are more or less identical to each other. Other brands may not be. Pull the cap off the capsule, sprinkle out beads representing the milligrams you want to take. Pop the cap back on the capsule for the next day. The capsule is merely a container for the beads and has no part in the delivery rate of the venlafaxine.
This idea of dividing up higher strengths of medications to save $ does not always apply depending on the formulation. Confirm with a pharmacist beforehand then work together with the doctor by explaining what you are up to.

You have to treat all on their individual merits.
My absolute favorite is a tablet that consists of a porous skin with a hole drilled by a laser in it. When you swallow it, juice from you is absorbed through the skin and the stuff inside absorbs the juice and swells. Gradually the gunk is pumped out through the hole. You wouldn't want to be cutting THAT up.
