> Hey, I have been on effexor for over a year and for about 4 months its been incresingly ineffective. My doctor has increased by effexor from 180 to 255mg, i have ben doing that fro two weeks now and no change, should I consider different medication if so what??? need help, or chould I stick with it.
Hi. My daughter was on Effexor XR for over a year. She was on 225 mg. We noticed a gradual decline... sort of a recurrence of the depression which I attributed to the drug losing its effectiveness. She has been weaning for about 2 months now and, other than the withdrawal effects, she's doing 100% better. I would talk to your doc about changing if you believe it's been ineffective for that long. Good luck. Jerz
