>Hi Linkadge,
We are talking about ssri's here but is anything known about Effexor in regards of dopamine downregulation ?
I don't want to steal this thread but don't see much links to this in the current longwinding Effexor thread but if so I will ask there ... (I am sorry for inconveniences I may cause).
I was puzzled by a remark of my paindoc who prescribed me Effexor (+ tramadol I already used next to ad's); he claimed that small dosages of Eff. (75 to 112,5 mg a day) already had painkilling properties and would apparently hitting nor-adrenaline.
Maybe the same could be true about the dopaminergic action of Effexor (supposedly at high dosages of 300 mg a day).
Does anyone know perhaps ?
Thanks in advance,Robert
