Answer 1

Hi...
NOT RECOMMENDED...
"Aleve" is actually "Naproxen"...Please read on...

NAPROXEN - ORAL
Pronunciation: (nah-PROX-en)

Brand Name(s): Aleve, Anaprox, Naprosyn
Effexor Oral Interactions

Check all prescription and nonprescription medicine labels carefully since many contain pain relievers/fever reducers (NSAIDs such as aspirin or naproxen) which may increase the risk of side effects.

Certain medications taken with this product could result in serious, even fatal, drug interactions. Avoid taking MAO inhibitors (e.g., furazolidone, isocarboxazid, linezolid, moclobemide, phenelzine, procarbazine, selegiline, tranylcypromine) within 2 weeks before or 7 days after treatment with this medication.

This drug should not be used with the following medications because very serious interactions may occur: weight loss drugs (e.g., sibutramine, phentermine).

If you are currently using any of these medications, tell your doctor or pharmacist before starting venlafaxine.

Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all prescription and nonprescription/herbal products you may use, especially of: cimetidine, herbal/natural products (e.g., ayahuasca, St. John's wort), lithium, other SSNRI antidepressants (e.g., duloxetine), SSRI antidepressants (e.g., fluoxetine, sertraline), tramadol, triptan migraine drugs (e.g., sumatriptan, almotriptan), other drugs which can cause bleeding/bruising (e.g., thrombolytic drugs such as TPA, anticoagulants such as heparin or warfarin, antiplatelet drugs including NSAIDs such as ibuprofen).

Low-dose aspirin (usually 81-325 mg per day) for heart attack or stroke prevention should be continued unless your doctor instructs you otherwise. Aspirin is similar to NSAID drugs, and can increase the risk of bleeding in combination with this medication (see above). Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.

Check all prescription and nonprescription medicine labels carefully since many contain pain relievers/fever reducers (NSAIDs such as aspirin or naproxen) which may increase the risk of side effects.

GOOD LUCK!

Answer 2

Personally I am not aware of any adverse effect of taking them together, but I think its proabably best to talk to your physician or a pharmacist.
The only thing I know about taking Effexor with other drugs is as follow:
DRUG INTERACTIONS: Life-threatening interactions can occur in combination with MAO inhibitors such as Nardil and Parnate. MAO inhibitors and venlafaxine should not be taken together, and a waiting period of 14 days between taking these two classes of medications is strongly advised.
Most medications affecting the brain such as venlafaxine have the potential to slow reflexes or impair judgment. Therefore, caution is advised especially early in the course of treatment.
Safety has not been established in children below the age of 18 years.
