> I think of Effexor as an SSRI. As you can see, it's over 100 times more potent at the serotonin transporter. Norfluoxetine, the active metabolite of fluoxetine, is only 16.4 times more potent at the serotonin transporter.
I should add that desvenlafaxine (Pristiq), the active metabolite of Effexor, is 13.9 times more potent at the serotonin transporter. Incidentally, that predicts that Pristiq should be a less efficacious AD than Effexor.
