In reply to SLS- Anyone? Effexor most like Tramadol?, posted by Sheilac on March 1, 2013, at 7:49:30
Tramadol has the effects of an opioid (narcotic) as well as being an SNRI
I think if SSRI's make you manic, Effexor probably would as well.
You might want to try nortriptyline, it inhibits noradrenalin and seretonin reuptake and has other effects that also help lift depresion and control anxiety.
Start with 25mg at bedtime, and build upto 75mg at beedtime over 7 days
After a couple of weeks, have a blood test to make sure that your blood levels are in "the zone"
