I am an alcoholic with major depression that predates my alcohol use. I have been taking Effexor XR (300 mg once daily currently) and noticed a difference in the way I drank recently. I had a slip and drank three beers with absolutely no euphoric feeling and stopped. This is very atypical for me. Is anyone aware of any research done on the effect of Effexor on response to alcohol use/abuse? Also, what about the combination of naltrexone and Effexor for my dual diagnosis? Given what I have read here, I wonder if that would be an ideal combination for me.
