>You might want to look up the term called serotonin syndrome. You may decide not to take any form of serotonin precursers- L-tryptophan, 5HTP, or even L-theanine.
Effexor, from my undertstanding is very addictive and causes very severe withdrawal symtoms. You might want to thoroughly read the product insert or look it up in the Phyicians Desk Reference.
I would much prefer taking the most powerful Benzo over Effexor! My sister is in the process of titrating (slowly reducing her dosage) so as to ditch it. It gave her debilitating rheumatoid arthritis AND greatly weakened her immune system.

Are there any of these that I should avoid? (Might cause contradictions)...
