I think Effexor is about comparable to Parnate or desipramine. It's easier to use, though. I only have to take it in two divided doses instead of six as I did with Parnate (had to do this to minimize paroxysmal hypertension), and it doesn't require serum level testing as desipramine did (you read about the "episode" I had when I was on desipramine, right?). It's really the buprenorphine that has done away with the residual depression that was causing me so much trouble.
