In reply to Is effexor an SSRI?, posted by Denise528 on January 10, 2002, at 5:24:33
Effexor inhibits the reuptake of only serotonin at 75mg/day, thus giving it an SSRI-like quality. At something like 150-375 mg, Effexor inhibits the reuptake of both serotonin and norepinephrine, making it similar in effect to some Tertiary Amine Tricyclics. But Effexor definitely has fewer side-effects than most of the tricyclics except maybe desipramine. :)
