Well I do know that venlafaxine rarely produces euphoria. (Well it does in some, but probably a lot less often than with PCP). I don't think there is a big street market for venlafaxine.
It is possible that euphoria could only be achieved at doses that would cause uncomfortable cardiovascular reactions (as effexor can raise heartrate).
I don't believe that venlafaxine is abused in the same way that PCP is.
There could be subtle similarities thought. I have noticed that effexor gives me some mild paranoid like reactions, like people are reading my mind. I also get some dark feelings on it too, like I feel ...evil somtimes. I also get some mild visual distortions stuff looking surreal, or otherworldly.
It could be other stuff, as I do have problems, but I thought it felt it was was working on another axis as other AD's.
