Dreamer - You can take 150mg once daily. When Wyeth-Ayerst first marketed Effexor XR, they said to take it twice daily in divided doses. Subsequent, real world (naturalistic) studies have shown that the XR version of Effexor only needs to be taken once daily and is still effective (ie. one capsule lasts a full day).

Some people still split the dosage because of side effects or because they feel as if they are not covered by the antidepressant for the full day. Taking a medication once daily is a lot easier to remember than taking it twice daily, for most people.

I hope that THIS makes sense. - Cam
