In reply to Effexor dosage, posted by hildi on July 9, 2002, at 21:08:56
I too was taking the tablet form of Effexor (i.e. NOT the ER kind) and I only took it once a day...and it worked fine for me! I had to be REALY GOOD about taking it at the same time every day (kind of like the birth control pill..) or else I would start getting a headache, but it was rarely problematic...
I was taking 400 mg a day...and I took it around 1 pm ...if I took it any later in the day I had insomnia. If I took it in the morning it made me tired (go figure??!)...thus I found that the only time I could take it without weird effects was around lunchtime, thus the once a day dosing....my doctor said if that's what worked for me than that was fine...
Good luck!
