Both effexor and norpramin are serotonin modulators and their interactions may enhance the adverse/toxic effect of each other leading to the possible development of serotonin syndrome.

Serotonin syndrome is a potentialyl life-threatening drug reaction that causes the body to have too much serotonin, a chemical produced by nerve cells.

Symptoms occur within minutes to hours, and may include:

-Agitation or restlessness

-Diarrhea

-Fast heart beat

-Hallucinations

-Increased body temperature

-Loss of coordination

-Nausea

-Overactive reflexes

-Rapid changes in blood pressure

-Vomiting

You should contact your doctor to discus your dosages for each medication if you are concerned. With the right dosage of each medication, serotonin syndrome can be completely prevented.

If you have the symptoms you should go to the hospital.

Are Effexor and naproxen ok to take together?

Effexor (venlafaxine) and naproxen can generally be taken together, but it's important to consult with a healthcare professional before combining them. Effexor is an antidepressant, while naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). There are no direct interactions, but individual health factors and potential side effects should be considered. Always follow your doctor's advice regarding medications.
