I don't know if it's legal or not, however, I can't afford them anyhow.
I found 300mg of Effexor activating, but it had a horrible effect on my brain, ie, I would be driving along in my car wondering where I was going, so I had to stop it. I'm guessing that I had too much serotonin. My blood pressure did increase by 10/10, but you would expect it too when NE comes in to play. I actually turned down an offer to try Reboxetine purely because it should push blood pressure up, which I can't afford to happen & choose to try Nort instead.
Cheers,
Panda.
