> Effexor is an interesting drug. Below 150mg/d, it's basically an SSRI. At 150-225, it seems to have both SSRI and SNRI properties. At around 300 mg, it becomes mostly noradrenergic.
At dose above 300 mg, venlafaxine acquires dopamineric activity. It still retains serotonin and norepinephrine qualities at this dose range, and does *not* become mostly noradrenergic. If the medication did become mostly noradrenergic, the serotonergic benefits/side effect would dissipate.
