I think it would be safe to go to 450mg. I have depression comorbid with social phobia and obsessive thoughts too, and my pdoc says that in these cases you may have to go outside the mainstream dosages. If you're tolerating the 300mg well it's worth it to try 450mg.
When do you take the Effexor? It could be you feel better once the blood levels of Effexor peak, but are crappy before. I'd be wary going too far out with other drugs - you don't want to 'upset' your Effexor response too much. I wouldn't be looking at taking an SSRI, for example.
I hope you continue to get better. Good luck to you.
