NE stands for norepinephrine. Drugs like Strattera stimulate that. Effexor at high doses does. Does anyone know how Remeron compares with Effexor? I remember reading that Effexor has a 10:5:1 ratio for seratonin to norepinephrine to dopamine. Personally, I've never had any norepinephrine effect with Effexor–none that I could identify, anyway.
Here's a brief rundown on norepinephrine, aka NE. (Other neurotransmitters can effect some of the same things.)
Norepinephrine:
Related to intellectual performance, motor tasks, pleasure, learning, mental acuity, attention span, alertness, arousal, mood, regulates blood pressure and heart rate.
Deficiency:
·        Anxiety
·        Depression
·        Impulsivity
·        Insomnia
·        Obsessions
·        Compulsions
·        Aggression
·        Suicidal tendency
·        Alcoholism
·        Loss of interest and pleasure in usual activities
·        Low pain threshold
·        Carbohydrate cravings or high appetite
·        Serotonin enhancing medication improved mood
Excess:
·        Fall asleep easily
·        High pain threshold
·        Altered mental status
·        Decreased appetite
·        Neuromuscular abnormalities
·        Serotonin enhancing medication induced a negative reaction
