They aren't in the same class of drugs. I think the way effexor would cause any TD is different from how APs do. APs block receptors and cause supersensitivity. effexor has indirect effects on DA receptors by causing changes in dopamine levels. Traditionally the APs have been associated with movement disorders but it seems with time they're finding that antidepressants also cause the problem. I'm not sure if the likelyhood is as great though.
