Re: Highest dosage of Pristiq (desvenlafaxine) ?

50mg does not work for me. So my doctor increased the daily dosage to 100mg and taking these at night and not morning.

Do not know yet what is the effect or will this help.

Will posr again later Stanlow

> In clinical trials, the dosages used ranged from 50-400mg. The manufacturer now recommends that 100mg is the maximum dosage, although it insists that no additional benefit has been demonstrated beyond 50mg. By comparison, the maximum recommended dosage of Effexor, the parent compound to Pristiq, is now above 300mg. It had been 225mg before reports came in stating that many patients needed 300mg and above to respond. A few people need 600mg of Effexor.
