Taking antidepressant with a calcium supplement? Help!? - birdbaby - 04-08-2014 08:40 PM
I take Venlafaxine for anxiety! I've taken different ones in the past, but noticed that when I start taking calcium supplements with them, the anxiety comes back. I hate it! Please help! Any doctors reading?

According to drugs.com, "There were no interactions found in our database between Calcium 600 D and venlafaxine." http://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/calcium-600-d-with-venlafaxine-2917-13737-2296-0.html
A site called "ehealthme.com" , mentions possible interactions between Effexor (Venlafaxine) & Calcium. It's a resource that is new to me, but I gather that it allows for some rather personalized combinations and the potential outcomes. It mentions its reliance on social media, which is kind of concerning to me.

All the above may only raise more questions than it answers, but it's what I could find.
I don't think there are many doctors that stop by here. Since the ehealthme data does mention Anxiety with use of Effexor and Calcium, I guess it would be worth discussing with your prescriber.
