Thank for describing more of your symptoms. It's very interesting that you have uncovered a mechanism for this.

Yes. I read this study. I wasn't sure of the mechanism. Venlafaxine is fairly weak acting on norepinephrine. However, perhaps in combination with dopa, levels of norepinephrine become too elevated (dopa can increase norepinephrine as well).
