Hi Momsie,
Sounds GOOD! Since I last posted I opened the capsules and went to a half dose. Going to see Dr.R next week. Just scared the beans out of me when it happened and I had no idea why. This posting is almost 8mos after it started and I could not get a response from my doctor. I feel much better at this point, four days later, but I am not sure that I should even be taking these. I wonder why I was up to 150mg. What determines the dosage? I did come across somewhere the maximum dosage is 275mg a day. From looking on this board it seems some people are taking even higher doses. Also someone posted that the use of Effexor should only go on for about 6 months. Don't hold me to that but if I find it I will post again for you. It may be doing something but I just cannot tell. PS Saw white spots in my stool many days. Did not click that they were the Effexor. Hard to digest it seems. Wish I had known about the shocks beforehand. Enough to make a person depressed! 6'1 205lbs Those pills have quite a kick. THANK YOU DR BOB YOU ARE AN ANGEL for setting up your pages!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
