Re: Venlafaxine and opioid receptors?

There is an interaction between the noradrenergic system and the opioid system. NRI's apparently have some analgesic effects (enhancement of endorphin activity?). Anyhow, I don't think that venlafaxine direclty interacts with opioid receptors, but some of the antidepresant effect is dependant on the delta opioid system apparently.
