أولا مجال أدوية الطب النفسي بعيد تماما عن معلوماتي .. والمعلومات التالية من كذا مصدر موثوق منه .. واعتقد انك طبيب لذلك هاكمل بالانجليزي بقى علشان الواحد يبقى على راحته ..
Efexor, is a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI)(Venlafaxine)which has three main indications:
1. Depression (NOT the first line of treatment, it is often effective for depression not responding to SSRIs such as Philozac.)
2. Panic disorder
3. Anxiety disorders
Other INVESTIGATIONAL USES, treatment of diabetic neuropathy, migraine prophylaxis, reducing the severity of 'hot-flashes' in menopausal women, reducing episodes of cataplexy, a form of muscle weakness, in patients with the sleep disorder narcolepsy.
I have no idea about its use in treatment of coma in the US, no source mentions this.
