When I was on Effexor, I became a total chimney. My pdoc didn't understand it either. I think it happens becuase it work on the dopamine system (just one of Effexor's actions) in similar ways to classic antipsycotics. A lot of antipsychotics increase the urge to smoke. I could be wrong, I think I read this somewhere.
