I took Effexor 375mg/day for over a year and got off of it immediately by taking 5-HTP the day after my last day on effexor (500mg/day for the first 2 days, 300mg for 2 days and tapered off 100mg/day). The max. recommended dose --> 900mg/day.
Effexor gave me alcohol cravings that turned my mood ugly--I felt the need to quit everything cold turkey before something terrible happened.
