No. It's an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor), a "safer" class of antidepressants than MAOIs (monoamine oxidase). Paxil acts on one specific neurotransmitter in the brain (serotonin) wereas MAOIs act on several neurotransmitters (serotonin, dopamine, noradrenaline, and other amines).

Can Chlorpheniramine maleate and venlafaxine be taken together?
I wouldn't recommend it. Unlike other allergy medications, chlorpheniramine maleate can act as a mild seratonin reuptake inhibitor, and it could interact negatively with Effexor. I'd strongly urge you to speak with your physican first.

What is 8 grams of meth equal to in other illegal drugs?
Methamphetamine works very differently with respect to other drugs. It has very potent effects in terms of displacing and causing the release of dopamine and norepinphrine (both are catecholamines). It also has some selective catecholamine receptor binding affinity. However, you cannot really compare this to other stimulant drugs on an equivalent basis, because many other drugs work differently. Cocaine and Ritalin (methylphenidate) act as dopamine reuptake inhibitors, which is a completely different mechanism.
What type of drug is Lexapro?
No, it is an SNRI. SNRIs act to both serotonin and norepinephrine whilst SSRIs only to serotonin. Venlafaxine (Effexor) is thought to be stronger than SSRIs but may have more side effects due to its double action. In doses over 225mg, it has some moderate action to dopamine.
