Hi Teck,
Thanks for the advice, I will definitely ask about the Wellbutrin and increase of Effexor...
As for my caffeine intake, I only drink around 1-to-2 cups in the morning. Every now and then I drink a diet coke, but I mostly drink water (4-5 Liters a day!) So...I'll try to cut back but I know I'm addicted...
Thanks again!
Jen

You can go pretty high with efexor. I've read of doses well over the 375mg 'limit'. Wellbutrin can be added too which can produce a real 'boost'! Of course talk to your doctor first.
