Increasing Effexor XR

Posted by Pandora on January 5, 2001, at 4:40:42

I've been on Effexor XR at 150 mgs/day for about a year. I've had similar bad experiences when missing doses. I've also recently developed acne around my scalp - never would have thought that this could be a side effect, but it's a good place to start!
My question is for those who have been on effexor for a while and/or those who have been on multiple ADs over time. I really don't feel that the effexor is working very well right now and wonder if my best course of action is to increase the dose (is 150 mg a "high" dose?) or to switch to another AD. I've experienced Prozac "burnout" and similar effects with tofranil and Zoloft. Unfortunately, I seem to be better informed than my pdoc on the effects of ADs and insurance prohibits me from shopping around for a new one... so I'm coming to other well-informed consumers for advice : ) (If anyone can recommend a good doc in the Houston area, I'd appreciate it!)
