In reply to Effexor vs. Effexor XR dosage, posted by LD on April 11, 2000, at 9:16:35
> I'm planning on changing from Effexor to the XR version, and I was wondering if anyone could help me with some dosage guidelines. My doc wanted me to go up to 375mg of the regular, but when I told her I wanted to go on the XR, she said the max I could go was 225mg. I am on 225mg of the regular right now. Is this an equivalent dose of the XR? Is the XR stronger? ALso, how do I go about the transition? Just take 3, 75mg XR all at once? I'm in the middle of having to change doctors because of insurance and I'm not going back for a month, so I'm kinda on my own in this. Thank you so much.
RE: E-XR Dose
I am on 300 mg E-XR per day. I always have to have the pharmacist call the insurance co. when I get a refill. My doc says they (Effexor-XR co.) are soon to announce the maximum dose can be even higher than the 300 I am on. Shar
