In reply to Effexor SSRI/SNRI nonsense, posted by linkadge on September 23, 2003, at 20:15:20
There are confusions in terminology...
to some people, SNRI = selective norepinepherine reuptake inhibitior (ala SSRI)
to others (Dr. Preskorn being one of them IIRC), SNRI = serotonin and norepinepherine reuptake inhibitor (thus tricyclics fall in here as well)
Velafaxine is supposed to, in the case of the "typical human", inhibit reuptake starting with serotonin at low dose and gradually taking in norepinepherine and finally dopamine as well at the highest theraeutic dose. Of course, YMMV!
