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!

I've taken that for 10 years now and it's the only AD that's been long term effective for me
