I currently take 225 mg effexor SR. It has helped calm my nerves (anxiety), and improve my concentration. It has not taken away the roller-coaster episodes of in and out of depression, yet it has taken away the very lowest scale of the suicide thoughts. I have been on this dose for 1.5 years. I recentlly came out of a 5 month slump of depression (as is my pattern). It was suggested to increase my dose to 300mg to prevent another downward phase. I would like opinions from others. Will the increase most likely relieve the depression phases, or has the medicine done all that it can for me and an increase would likely make no difference? Comments, opinions welcome. thanks
