> The name on the bottle is venlafaxine and the capsules are the same except they have an N on them instead of the Effexor name . I take 75 mg in the morning. I have been on them only for a week so I will update as time passes (have been taking the Effexor XR for about 11 months).

Thanks for the info. I will check with my doc about these. Again, please keep us posted on your progress. I, for one, am interested if it works better than the name brand.
Blessed journeys,
