Venlafaxine: a novel antidepressant.
More and more antidepressants are being used to treat depression that do not meet DSM-IV criteria for major depression. Venlafaxine is one alternative among many pharmacologic agents. Studies suggest it provides as good a response as other antidepressants, is less cardiotoxic, and produces fewer anticholinergic and sedative side effects.
