A member asked:
Does effexor (venlafaxine) act on norepinephrine at 150mg or at doses above 150mg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Effexor (venlafaxine): Effexor (venlafaxine) is a fairly balanced compound in that it works on both norepinephrine and serotonin fairly equally (unlike Cymbalta for instance which skews to the serotonin side a bit more). So, you'll be getting the norepinephrine reuptake inhibition at every dose strength. Hope that helps!
