Really bad result: I would not recommend this. First, since it's bought on the street, you do not know what is really in the substance you think is ecstasy.. If it is actually ecstasy you could induce a deadly serotonin syndrome. Depending on dose of Effexor (venlafaxine) you will also be inhibiting reuptake of norepinephrine -- the combo can lead to anxiety, panic, etc. If not prescribed for you, do not take Effexor (venlafaxine) at all.
