Venlaflaxine is used for treatment of major depression. It is a relatively new drug and there is only the pharmaceutical company's protocol on which to rely. Apparently, although there is a very long shopping list of adverse effects, your father's doctors probably thought his symptoms were so severe that it was worth trying. Do you have a case? In my opinion-No.
