If you have felt no antidepressant effect at all, or none that you can convince yourself of, it may be time to try a new med, or add one. As I understand these things, if you have not felt at least an -effect- by this time, it is less likely that you will.
Some docs push effexor up higher, though. It's possible 400mg could help, but I sort of think it unlikely. ...Different people take different amounts of time to respond to antidepressants. For me, a drug always reaches full effect by 3 weeks or less. Others may take 12 weeks, so if you have previous experience with antidepressants, you might use that as a guide, for how long you need to stay on effexor.
Good luck
