Dear lybrate-user,
Most antidepressants work more or less at the same level. Mostly, you go by the side-effects - whether they are acceptable by you. Both Vilazodone and Bupropion have minimal sexual side effect. Fluoxetine has more erectile dysfunction.
Weight and sedation are also to be taken into account. If you can tolerate effective dose of TCA, you can try. Otherwise go for Venlafaxine. The only tip is - it is not the antidepressant. It is the duration (minimum 3-6 weeks) and dose ...more

First step is you can chew nicotine chewing gums instead of smoking available as nicotex (cipla). Second step is using antidepressants like bupropion or venlafaxine but should be done under a deaddiction program under supervision of a psychiatrist who has experience with these drugs. Regular exercise and meditation with strong will might be enough also.

If you have suffered depression for very long and struggled to get better with most other medications then please continue venlafaxine especially if there are no side effects. If your depression has been relapsing or chronic then stopping the medication may lead to relapse of depression. For further advise you should speak to your treating psychiatrist.

Hello Chamith,
Veniz XR is an antidepressant and can be taken for long. Just be vigilant about its harmful effects. If you aren't a heart patient, you can safely take it. It has certain side effects on liver too like your liver functions may get deranged and jaundice might occur.
But this effect is uncommon.
