Yes, brand name Effexor. The ER stands for Extended Release. I was on Effexor for years and worked really well. I did eventually switch to Cymbalta and Wellbutrin for treatment resistant depression. Of course each individual has a difference experience with antidepressants and sometimes it takes some "tweeking" to get the dosage right or switching meds altogether. Good karma my friend!
