> I'm currently on 450mg Effexor combined with 45mg Mitazapine daily,the former taken in a morning and the latter at night. Doses of Effexor up to 600mg are now being used in the UK to impact on intractable mood disorders, even though Effexors licence is only up to 375mg. Thus no alternative,but higher doses of Effexor. When I increased the mirtazapine above 45mg(in combination), it produced quite marked sedation! With Effexor at this level for 2 months now,my mood has lifted overall quite a bit, but I'm still getting periods of 2-4 days when I'm back to a state of no energy/depression/impaired thinking.

RobI would kill to have only period of 4 days of bad times. My doc. has asked me to keep a diary of my moods and rate them between 1 to 5, 5 being awful and 1 being fantastic. In the last two months I have never past 4 with most days being 5 and that is only becasue there is no 6.
More over, apart from the four weeks "honeymoon" I had with Mirtazapine my mood has't rated better that 3 in the last 12 years.
