desvenlafaxine vs. venlafaxine + uptake ratio ?

Posted by linkadge on August 11, 2007, at 19:56:54

Anyone have any information of whether desvenlafaxine differs to any appreciable extent from venlafaxine in terms of ratio of affinity for monoamine uptake pumps?

Venlafaxine elevated my blood pressure but was a reasonable AD. Would desvenlafaxine be any different?

According to the data I just looked at, they have virtually identical inhibition at 5-HT, and NE, but desvenlafaxine is substantially weaker at the dopamine transporter. I found no desvenlafaxine data for adrenergic/muscarinic receptors.
