Sorry about the other details....too much information. It wouldn't mean much to anyone who doesn't use those concepts routinely.

You're welcome. I looked at venlafaxine (Effexor), just to check my conclusion against available data, and the peak blood concentration doesn't hit 1 microM. I can't see how a compartment which draws from the blood (i.e. the CNS) could possibly obtain *higher* concentrations.
