What Causes Depression After Having Effexor?

Wait for a couple of days
Detailed Answer:
HELLO Thanks for asking from HEALTH CARE MAGIC
Lisinorpril is ACE inhibitor drug for BP and Effexor is Venlafaxine. You have been recently started on Lisinopril and the depressive symptoms have become worse.
Over if we consider pharmacological interactions of these drugs then there are no significant interactions found between drugs. Occasional anxiety can be found and no other significant interaction is there is an individual takes the drugs together.
Secondly its only forth day of Lisinopril and at this duration it can't worsen the symptoms of depression. Both drugs act in different ways.
So if your symptoms worsened then as per my opinion you should wait for a couple of days more in order to see improvement. If further worsening occurs then consult your psychiatrist again. As per my opinion the symptoms might be aggravated immediately after starting Lisinopril but the drug has nothing to do with these symptoms.
Take plenty of fluids and diet rich in proteins and carbohydrates and low in fats and you will feel better.
Please mention your symptoms in detail in follow up question so that I can comment more.
Hope it cleared your doubt, if you have more doubts ask again.
Thanks
