  Q. So what antidepressants are SNRIs? Is Celexa or Serzone one such antidepressant?

  A. The only SNRI in America for depression is Effexor and Effexor XR. A SRI is a serotonin reuptake inhibitor. An SNRI is a serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor. Anafranil, a very potent older tricyclic antidepressant is also an SNRI, but its side effects are horrific in BPD.
