How Can Depression And Head Pressure Be Treated If No Relief Is Obtained After Taking Venlafaxine?

I have head pressure in the right and left front of my head. Also, a depressed feeling most of the time, thinking I will never be rid of this. I started taking paxel and my doctor switched me to venlafaxine and has increased the dosage. It doesn;t seem to help!

Hello,

In case venlafaxine is not helping there is a need to either change the medication (If no effect at all) or augment the current medication with other medications (Provided there is a partial improvement).

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ashok Kumar, Psychiatrist
