Keep in mind that at your dose of 75 mg you will only get serotonin reuptake inhibition. At a dose of about 150-300 mg you will also get Effexor's norepinephrine reuptake inhibition, thus maximizing your chances at relief from psychiatric disorder.

Even with peoples' scary posts about Effexor, it is the 2nd or 3rd option in most algorithms that I have seen on depression. Also, it is highly recommended in the Psychopharmacology Tips for bipolar depression, because it rarely precipitates mania.
