> Has anyone noticed this ? ...does this mean long term Neural path burn out ?
Yes, I noticed some similarity...interesting, this is not the first time I have heard this. They are both phenethylamines, and re-uptake inhibitors, this is the only connection.
Burn out (in terms of ecstacy use) is due to a depletion of serotonin stores, and secondary actions involving the decativation of tryptophan hydroxylase and oxidative stress
Effexor does not deplete serotonin, or cause any appreciable oxidative stress.
