Method: This was an 8-week, double-blind, randomized study of sertraline (50-150 mg/day) versus venlafaxine XR (75-225 mg/day), followed by a 2-week taper period
64% of reviewers reported a positive effect, while 18% reported a negative effect
We did a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of double-blind, randomised controlled trials that examined fixed doses of five selective serotonin
lower doses (sertraline = 59%, venlafaxine XR = 70%); however, remission rates for this sample were compa-rable for both drug groups (sertraline = 48%, venlafax-ine XR =
Venlafaxine in comparison with other anti-depressive agents, including conventional tricyclic/heterocyclic ADs, SSRIs (fluoxetine, sertraline, fluvoxamine, citalopram
However, in a fourth RCT (n = 295), the combination of sertraline and mianserin was only as efficacious as 100 mg sertraline alone in patients previously unresponsive to Fava
Venlafaxine vs Sertraline for Depression Treatment with venlafaxine results in higher response and remission rates than treatment with sertraline in the major depressive disorder 1 , 2
