The Strattera and Effexor together should not be a problem. I'm also currently on a medication that acts on NE (Pamelor), and Strattera is basically my only option if I want a specifically ADD med (for reasons I went into in another post). My doctor assured me the combination is safe- it isn't norepinephrine agonism that is dangerous, but cardiotoxicity, and Strattera is not cardiotoxic. So it is safe to combine even with meds that share some of its actions.
