An SSRI is a Selective SERATONIN Reupdate Inhibitor. An SNRI is a Selective NOREPINEPHRINE reupdate inhibitor. Seratonin and Norepinephine are both neurotransmitters that are involved in depression (and/or its alleviation). Effexor is BOTH. It is essentially a SSNRI as it blocks the reupdate of BOTH neurotranmitters.
