> Most likely you'll be fine...I would occasionally forget my daily dose of Effexor XR (225 mgs too) when I was taking it, b/c I would forget whether I had taken it or not, and sometimes it would make me a little 'woozy' (dizzy, maybe slightly nauseated), particularly the next morning, before my next dose. But that was the worst of it, and after I took my dose the next morning, I was fine. I would recommend not planning to do anything major tonight, particularly late. If you can stay home and go to sleep at a reasonable time, do that. Then just resume your meds tomorrow morning. You'll be fine.

That is EXACTLY how I'm feeling now. I'm ExTREMELY 'woozy' dizzy. I'm holding onto walls when I walk. I think I'll go and lie down and go to bed early tonight. I can handle this if this is as bad as it's going to get. I just was very anxious that I would actually go through some major withdrawal symptoms and I was not looking forward to that. Thanks for replying so quickly and for your advice.
BTW, do you have any side effects taking 225mg? I'm having a MAJOR problem with twitches and jerks and feel I need to drop my dosage down but unfortunately I am still having suicidal thoughts even at this level so I'm not sure what to do. My pdoc was going to actually increase my dosage to 300mg today but his office was unexpectantly closed for the day and now I don't have an appointment. I'm not sure what to do. All I know is that I need a stronger dosage for the anti-depressant effect, especially the suicidal tendencies but I can't handle the side effects now. So, I was curious since you're taking the same dosage, what you're experience is. Are you taking other meds too??? What side effects are you having???

I can't remember exactly when I started this dosage. I know it wasn't the same day I picked up my prescription. I had already thought of counting the remainder of what is left in the bottle but I don't think I'll know by doing that. Thx for that advice, it would have been an easy way to figure it out had I started it the same day I picked up my prescription.
