Kate - Thanks for asking. Just getting over a really bad spring cold. Have been home all week.I guess my first question was dumb (probably the Dimetapp), as XR is in the title. I just thought that before you have to go through the mood stabilizer trials, it would be good to eliminate some other possiblities. Do keep in mind that it will probably take a couple of weeks before you notice any difference on any of the mood stabilizers, but Effexor is safe with any that I can think of (off of the top of my head). You do have quite a bit room to increase the Effexor dose and the manic switch is low (0.5%). Also, like I said before, you will get increasing effect with increasing doses of Effexor, unlike the SSRIs which plateau after a certain dose.
Good luck on your decision - Cam W.
