Actually it is neither.
Efexor (trade name: Venlafaxine) is actually what is commonly referred to as a SNARI or a Serotonin and Noradrenaline Reuptake Inhibitor.
Its generally not a first line drug to use (they would be SSRIs) and is reserved for Major Depression, Generalised Anxiety Disorders and Social Anxiety Disorder.
Hope this helps.

SSRI!!! You MUST checkout www.paxilprogress.com!!!!!! IN the free paxil (an SSRI ) withdrawal guide. The guide gives you a clear picture of exactly what SSRIs do.
