Hello,
The Effexor contains Venlafaxine, a molecule used widely for anxiety, depression and mood disorders. As there is excess crying while taking Effexor with other medications, I predict low dose of the drug or its unresponsiveness. Altering the dose of same molecule or addition of anti anxiety as Melatonin (3 mg) to current drug basket will help a lot.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
