In reply to Feeling spacy/Anyone at 300 mg with Effexor?, posted by ST on January 23, 2002, at 3:13:50
I took 300mg EffexorXR for about 18months. I tapered up slowly increasing 37.5mg a week until I was up to 225mg. After a year at that dose it pooped-out a little so my pdoc increased it to 300mg. I DID feel a little spacey first thing in the am. I also saw "tracers" for the first 15 minutes or so after getting out of bed in the morning - weird... Eventually the Effexor pooped out completely and I switched to celexa. I also take desipramine and adderal. This combo works well for me.
Good luck,

> I went from 75 mg of Effexor XR to 150 mg and I've been on 225 mg for about a week now. I am so spacy, tired, unmotivated....I wasn't like this on Celexa, the med I took before Effexor. And ofcourse when I started the Effexor, I had that UP feeling and the suppressed appetite, etc. Anyone experiencing this - and at what dosage? Does increasing dosage help with this or make one more spacy? Anyone on 300 mg?
