Hi.
Yes, these are the brand names of same medicine.
Effexor and Ireven are the brand names of Venlafaxine which is an antidepressant in a group of drugs called selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SSNRIs) and commonly prescribed in the treatment of major depressive disorder, anxiety, and panic disorder.
You may continue to take it after informing your treating doctor.
Best regards.
