I can understand your concerns.

Can i take Deanxit medicine will it help for nerve pain.
Deanxit is available in Singapore.

Brief Answer:
Venlafaxine

Detailed Answer:
Hello again.

Deanxit will help in reducing anxiety which can lessen the pain. But it is not specifically used for nerve pain.
In this way deanxit can be helpful, if there is no other options available.

Venlafaxine can be helpful in nerve pain (prescription drug).

Hope this helps.
Thanks.
