In reply to Effexor vs. Effexor XR dosage, posted by LD on April 11, 2000, at 9:16:35
> Hi I am the one who wrote about being from a psychiatrists dream family (in other words, my family could support a psychiatrist. However I read medical textbooks just for the fun of it so I am pretty knowledgable (call it survival). My new psychiatrist says he can "cure" me (and I have great faith) and has started me on effexor XR and is eventually going to get me over 400mg. Now I was on in years past, Effexor 225mg. It didn't do a whole lot but I was on it for 3 years. My Dr. said that when the dosage is raised to a high level, it is like a completely different medication and works in a completely different (and better I hope) way. Hope this helps, Carolyn
