> Effexor + SSRI is a good combination because it affects serotonin twice and norepinephrine once (and possibly dopamine), thus maximizing your chances at relief from depression. Effexor + SSRI is a common combination.
Thanks again. I am worried about serotonin syndrome, though. 60 mg. celexa and effexor sounds like a lot but I am sure the pdoc knows what he is doing. Celexa by itself also has no side effects for me other that sedation and some of the posts here about effexor scare me. I too reboxetine, a nari, and it gave me the most severe anxiety imaginable, so any noradregnic freaks me out. But I probably have no choice. Thanks again. Edward.
