As the others have said, you may want to consider waiting it out and increasing the dosage. I used the starter pack then stayed on 150 mg for 60 days, felt it poop out, and then went up to 225 mg. The higher dosage was a big help to me. After 75 days on 225 mg, I'm going to try and cut down in a few weeks to see if I can wean off or switch to another med or combo due to constipation/digestive side effects. I am hoping I can retain the many benefits at a lower dosage of effexor xr combined with something else while getting rid of the constipation etc.
