Lithium salts are used in the treatment of a variety of psychiatric disorders but are most commonly used in the treatment of affective (mood) disorders. Currently, lithium salts are principally used in the treatment of bipolar disorder, particularly in the treatment of acute manic or mixed episodes in patients with bipolar 1 or bipolar 2 disorder. In addition, maintenance therapy with lithium salts has been shown to prevent or diminish the intensity of subsequent manic episodes in patients with bipolar disorder with a history of mania.

Lithium salts also are used in the prophylaxis and treatment of major depressive disorder† (unipolar depression).

All Labeled Uses: Depression, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Social Phobia
Unlabeled Uses: Depression associated with Manic Depressive Disorder, Neuropathic Pain, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Vasomotor Symptoms associated with Menopause

The recommended starting dose for Effexor is 75 mg/day, administered in two or three divided doses, taken with food. Depending on tolerability and the need for further clinical effect, the dose may be increased to 150 mg/day. If needed, the dose should be further increased up to 225 mg/day . When increasing the dose, increments of up to 75 mg/day should be made at intervals of no less than 4 days. In outpatient settings there was no evidence of usefulness of doses greater than 225 mg/day for moderately depressed patients, but more severely depressed inpatients responded to a mean dose of 350 mg/day. Certain patients, including more severely depressed patients, may therefore respond more to higher doses, up to a maximum of 375 mg/day , generally in three divided doses .

Venlafaxine hydrochloride, a selective serotonin- and norepinephrine-reuptake inhibitor (SNRI), is a phenylethylamine-derivative antidepressant and anxiolytic agent.

This fixed combination drug is not indicated for the initial therapy of edema or hypertension except in individuals in whom the development of hypokalemia cannot be risked.

;Hyperkalemia: Abnormal elevation of serum potassium levels (greater than or equal to 5.5 mEq/liter) can occur with all potassium-sparing diuretic combinations, including DYAZIDE. Hyperkalemia is more likely to occur in patients with renal impairment and diabetes (even without evidence of renal impairment), and in the elderly or severely ill. Since uncorrected hyperkalemia may be fatal, serum potassium levels must be monitored at frequent intervals especially in patients first receiving DYAZIDE, when dosages are changed or with any illness that may influence renal function.

All Labeled Uses: Edema, Hypertension, Peripheral Edema due to Chronic Heart Failure, Pulmonary Edema due to Chronic Heart Failure
