Venlafaxine for ADHD

Brand names of venlafaxine include: Trevilor (D), Efexor (CH), Efectin (A)

Venaflaxin came on the market in 1993 and is approved only for adults (18 years and older).1

Venlafaxine acts primarily at the serotonin level, secondarily at the norepinephrine level as a reuptake inhibitor (SSNRI = selective serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor), and even less so at the dopamine level.1

Venlafaxine has only been tested in a few studies with a small number of subjects in relation to ADHD. The improvement in ADHD symptoms was very modest, while side effects were significant.2
We therefore advise against the use of venlafaxine in ADHD.

ATTENTION:
Regarding the entire group of serotonin reuptake inhibitors, there are concerns about their use in ADHD.
See Comments on serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) in ADHD In the article Medications for ADHD - overview.
