SNRI Mnemonics:
Le^ Vo~ feels so Dull that that he decided to ride high-speed (HTN) on his Vespa

"The SNRIs also have an important role as second-line agents in patients who have not responded to SSRIs. Safety, tolerability, and side-effect profiles are similar to those of the SSRIs, with the exception that venlafaxine and desvenlafaxine have been associated (rarely) with a sustained rise in blood pressure."
