> I'm brand new to this site and just increased my dose of Effexor to 375. I've just entered menopause, my first-born is headed off to college and I just moved my dad 600 miles from his home to a nursing home near me. I cry constantly and can't seem to cope with the most minor problem. Do you think this much Effexor will help?

Hi Migrainegirl,

I just upped my dose of Effexor to 150. (I only enter this because now posts under "effexor" have to actually be about effexor...)

I am one of about 7 of us who have been posting here a lot in the last month. We also have evolved past the dosages and wanted to talk more about the issues which made us depressed in the first place. We all felt safe with each other and as we started to share innermost thoughts and secrets, Dr. Bob 'redirected' all our posts to the other section "psycho-social" because we were being 'social' and not talking about effexor any more, and he wants 'psycho-babble' to be only about medications and not as a support group.

That put us into a total turmoil, and we spent all day yesterday trying to figure out where to meet. Some of us just don't like the 'social' and it seems less safe emotionally. Some of us have been emailing each other instead until we all agree on what to do.

I think we are all coming back to here, "effexor", to see what is happening, and to maybe pick up new members for our email club (!?!?!?) -- other posters who have been on Effexor for a while and for whom side effects and dose levels are not as much of an issue. If you would like to join us,
(and anybody else reading this who feels the same) then respond to this post.

People need to be more careful about giving out their email addresses, so I don't know how many would want to share theirs with you right away. As I said, we are just starting to figure out what to do. Yankeegirl
