Is It Advisable To Switch From Brintellix To Effexor?
Brief Answer:
Consultation
Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.
Is the nausea related to Brintellix, or is nausea a symptom of anxiety that Brintellix is intended to treat? It would be very important not to confuse these two very different situations.
Brintellix cannot be switched immediately to Effexor, it needs to be cross-titrated slowly and carefully under the supervision of a doctor.
