>150mf of Effexor would increase reuptake inhibition of serotonin if anything, it may at that dose increase noradrenaline. Ever tried mirtazapine or nortriptyline? Reboxetine is worth trying, it doesn't touch serotonin. Depending on the severity of your symptoms, there are also Lyrica, Trileptal, Zyprexa, Seroquel, Risperdal.
