Venlafaxine
This serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) antidepressant is used to treat major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and social anxiety disorder. It works by increasing the levels of serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain, which helps regulate mood and anxiety. Blood pressure should be monitored as it can cause small increases, particularly at higher doses.

Venlafaxine and tramadol together pose a high risk of serotonin syndrome due to complementary serotonergic mechanisms.
Bupropion inhibits CYP2D6, significantly increasing venlafaxine plasma concentrations, which may enhance both therapeutic and adverse serotonergic effects.
Carbamazepine significantly reduces venlafaxine plasma concentrations through CYP3A4 induction, potentially reducing antidepressant efficacy.
