Venlafaxine.

[kiki1952]

I have been put on Venlafaxine 150mg for this depression, is this ok to take with having AF?

Thank's Keith.

I suggest you ask your pharmacist about this. They are trained to be aware of possible problems. If you take warfarin make sure your doctor knows this.

Hi Polski

You probably have not had many replies because your question is not one most of us can answer.

Venlafaxine is not widely used although it is a very effective 2nd line antidepressant. Interaction with meds used for rhythm control in AF could be an issue.
