> to combat the small amount of anxiety and the large amount of insomnia I have after taking Effexor for 3+ months. She also increased my Effexor dosage from 150 mg to 225 mg. Has anyone taken this combo with positive results? I will be taking 25 mg of the Doxepin at bedtime only. Has anyone found a higher dosage of Effexor to be more effective for OCD?

Hi.

When I took Doxepin (long time ago), it really screwed up my perceptions. I couldn't tell by testing with my hand whether the bath water was hot or cold. I couldn't follow movies or conversations. I would be driving in my car and be at a red light and it would turn green and I would have forgotten I was in the car and not know what I was supposed to do.

I think this is a pretty atypical reaction but I continued on with the drug for several weeks (I was a newbie to a/ds at the time) and it never went away - so if it starts happening, let your doctor know right away.

Marsha
p.s. I also take Effexor now.
