Medication effects: I understand you need relief from panic symptoms. Using Elavil with Effexor (venlafaxine) XR can increase the risk of a rare but serious Serotonin Syndrome- confusion, hallucination, seizure, extreme changes in blood pressure, and other symptoms. Your Health is Precious! See Psychiatrist for Diagnosis; discuss medications interactions, their benefits and side effects, dose; and discontinuing Elavil.
