Effexor XR (venlafaxine) and Prozac (fluoxetine) are both antidepressants, but they belong to different classes; Effexor is a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI), while Prozac is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). When used together, they may enhance the therapeutic effects for certain individuals with depression or anxiety disorders. However, combining these medications can also increase the risk of side effects, including serotonin syndrome, which can be serious. It’s essential for this combination to be supervised by a healthcare professional.
