your welcome. yes, besides depression and smoking, welbutrin is prescribed for coke addiction often. i would look at a more softer drug than effexor though- effexor is only an ssri at low doses. you don't really get the snri effect until you reach high doses (300+) and then you have another addiction to deal with if you want to get off. prosac(ssri) + welbutrin (own class of drug) + strattera(nri) = much more control over levels and no discontinue withdrawls. just a thought, i'm no dr., just coming from experience. some people do relly well on effexor. coke doesn't even get me high, just makes me chase and chase more and more.
good luck, medhed.
