well I am only on 37.5 to get started on effexor. My doctor didn't think it would be enough. I don't know if he actually thought abotu it that much, actually, but I am pretty sensitive to any medication-pretty much I got through my first 23 years of life only ever taking a Tylenol-so I am thinking maybe 37.5 will be enough.
I talked to a nurse at my doc's office, and she said to go ahead up to 75 next week and if it doesn't seem like it is much different or better than the 37.5 then I can come back down. I think she is thinking I won't know if its working until it is, as many people on this site have mentioned.
Thanks so much for the replies! I was totally freaking out yesterday, as this is my first anti-depressant experience, but I think it is going to be good for me.
