Tai
Excuse the lame title. I stole it from a Thai restaurant in Palo Alto called "thai-riffic." I read your post-- Seriously made me crack up, and here I thought I was laughless.. just to picture that situation! I wanted to tell you a little about Effexor. I was on it for over a year. I was at 75 doing pretty well, then when I went to 150 I had like an emotional overload. I was way up and way down, and cried a lot.. it was too much. We adjusted the dosage a lot, and even went off of it (since I was adding mood stabilizers and antipsychotics), but eventually wound up at 75mg. Anyway, just wanted to let you know that for some people the optimum dose is 75. I went between 37.5 and 75 a lot while on other meds, but alone 75 seemed better. So not everyone takes 300 something mg Effexor. My optimum Remeron dose was 45... if you want to compare. Anyway good luck!
