In reply to Effexor XR- HELP!! should I up my dosage?, posted by june19 on March 8, 2005, at 0:23:46
june - i would maybe try another med altogether. i hated effexor, and i have been on a lot of Ad's. it seems like it's the popular drug right now, but that is immmaterial to you. choose what you want, and if you can't or don't want to deal with serious side effects like suicidality (word?) then you should move on or just do CBT. how much anxiety is intermingled with your depression? that would be my main question. effexor sent me reeling in anxiety and i couldn't hack it. i take remeron with an ssri and even the latter is too much stimulation wise. so think about your general mood and proceed from there. p-docs get obsessive with their choices of meds sometimes. ask for options.
