Effexor During Pregnancy
Effexor, which is also known as venlafaxine, is used to treat depression, generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and panic disorder. It is a helpful treatment for women who need it, since studies have shown it helps maintain healthy levels of serotonin, a natural substance in the brain, but not for the babies they carry during pregnancy.
