After study procedures were completed, the researchers offered venlafaxine XR for six months to the subjects who had relapsed after being switched from venalfaxine treatment to a placebo. Twenty-seven subjects accepted the offer. Preliminary results indicated that they again improved to the same degree as patients who had been on it for 12 months. “These results surprised us,” Rickels said. “If this finding can be repeated, it would mean that patients who are for at least six months on venlafaxine XR could go off medication until the symptoms return.”
