Gamfexine (WIN-1,344) is a centrally acting stimulant drug, which was tested as an adjunct treatment for withdrawn patients with schizophrenia, but while effective for treating withdrawal it made psychotic symptoms worse.

It was stated that gamfexine was the progenitor in the discovery of venlafaxine. This could be the reason why both agents share the same suffix.
