Effexor(SNRIs) 라는 항우울증 치료제가 있다.

흔히 알고 있는 Prozac(SSRIs)이 안 들을 경우 쓰는 serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors 라고 한다.

이 약은 그러나 serotonin 에 영향을 주는 다른 약물과 병용하면 side effect가 나는데,

특히 편두통 약, 다른 항우울제 그리고 St. John's wort 와 병행 투여하면 안된다고 한다.

MAO(monoamine oxidase) inhibitor 를 쓰고 있었던 경우에는 14일 동안 Effexor를 복용시키지 말아야 한다고 한다.

왜냐하면 Effexor 또한 phenethylamine 수준의 화학약물로 이는 amphetamine, methamphetamine을 함유하고 있기 때문이라고 한다.
