Kristen------------------------------------------Hi Kristen,
Djmmm has already answered perfectly to your questions and so the others. Anyway, here it goes...
Effexor is an SNRI. The is the first Serotonin and Norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. Its action on DA (at 375 mg and more) is quite insignificant. The mechanism of action of Effexor is unrelated to GABA. Effexor XR has been approved for the treatment of Depression and Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD).Good luck!
Max.
