I have been on Effexor XR 150 succesfully for the last couple years.Also, I take Klonopin at 3 mg's per day. I However, recently I have been rather anxious and short tempered with people and have had a couple incidents of road rage! (no violence).I went to see my psychiatrist, and he suggested an increase of Effexor XR at 300mgs. Any comments or suggestions regarding this increase would be welcomed and appeciated!I do find that going to the gym is helpful but I'm somewhat cocerned, as I am a lawyer and cannot afford any problems!
Thanks....

> Thanks....Hi there,
I,ve had increase from 75mg to 150 after 2+ years it was as if it just stopped working and with no major external problems .I was ready for hospitilization it was so bad.
The increase has made me well again and with less fatigue but I am concerned that in another couple of years or less an increase has to be done again.
I wish I could understand why some people build up a tolerance and so need more.
I would suggest an increase or disscuss with pdoc about adding something else to kick start it. There is something about adding lithium to an AD in Bobs tips?? to get AD's working again. Don't know anything about Klonopin .
Good luck.

> Don't know. I'm on effexor at 300mg and I find it makes me less irritatable and I do have a problem with that. I had PTDS and I overreact to stress. Effexor helped me overcome that.
