No, it's not way too much. There are many people who take more than that and do quite fine. The theory is that higher doses have a stronger effect on dopamine reuptake.

If you are having side-effects or if your blood pressure is high (that can be a problem at higher doses) you should discuss it with your doctor. If this is your first time taking medication, you may want to try other options, but high-dose Effexor has been quite helpful for a number of people with treatment-resistant/refractory depression.
