OK, so I was on effexor non xr at 100mg and it worked amazingly. Probably the only ad I've taken that tackled depression, the others just sedated me and worked on anxiety. The sexual side effect were terrible so I switched to viibryd. The viibryd does zero for depression, the sexual side effect subsided but then came back(maybe it's me?). Anyways, I want to go back to effexor. What should I take for eefexor XR if 100 mg of regular effexor worked for me? I was on 75XR once and it wasn't enough. Maybe 150?

You just have to try, it's the only way to find out.

IMHO, I would stay with effexor IR. I found IR massively more potent than effexor xr. I learned that the hard way.
I don't know the exact equivalency, but nothing I could do with XR would replicate what IR did.
Why do u want to switch?
