> Are you saying paxil and effexor are different? From what I have gathered they are both sorta the same.
Paxil is an SSRI: selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. Effexor is not. Effexor is a different sort of an animal all together, effecting other neurotransmitters.
Someone else will tell you the details, but they're different classes of drugs, with different effects and different side effects.
Effexor can be great, or it can be awful. Just depends on your chemistry.
Take care, good luck and keep us posted.
