Willow - The answer is not that straight forward. The net result is, if any, is not easy to predict. It also depends on if you are taking Effexor or Effexor XR and the dosage.
•So, instead of covering all potential possibilities, could you tell me the dosages of both drugs and when and how often you take them. Also, you may as well add any other meds you take regularily, and I will do a full analysis of possible outcomes, pertinent to your drug regimen.•
The net result will probably be nothing, but depending on which Effexor you are taking, both your doc and pharmacist could be wrong or they both could be right (weird, huh - or4, more likely the whole thing could be a moot point). It is not just a matter of reading the literature, it is also a matter of understanding the neurotransmitter system effects of the drugs involved in a potential pharmacodynamic interaction.
The net effect is probably not going to make any clinical difference, anyway; but post back with the answers to the above questions and I will try to figure it out. The potential interaction is probably just an academic, rather than clinical (real life) problem. - Cam
> Could you look it up? I believe you're in Canada too. The doctor said the effexor may effect the effectiveness of the domperidone and my pharmascist said it was vice versa. Just looking for another's idea. It also mentioned something similar to dopimine I think. Will it mess with a good balance?
