In reply to EFFEXOR increase from 150mg to 300mg..HELP!!, posted by Firebabe on August 26, 2001, at 18:22:52
> My doc just increased my efexor from 150mg to 300mg and I am having terrible reactions. Dizzyness, nausea SWEATING TERRIBLY, real tired. Been on the 300mg for 2 days now, but am considering backing down to the 150mg. ANYONE HAD THESE REACTIONS TO 300MG??
Hello, I just recently increased my dose of Effexor XR from 225 to 300. I have never jumped no more than 75mg at a time when making an increase. I have been on 300 mg for about 1 week and I too have terrible sweating. I can walk across the floor of an icebox and break out in a sweat. ;) I have bouts here and there with nausea. They do go away. When I first started Effexor I had these problems and stopped taking it becuase of them, but started it again. 150mg made me so tired, but when I increased my dose to 225, with a few weeks I so the biggest difference. Effexor has worked very well for me. The only side effect I had problems with is the sexual side effects and I take Wellbutrin SR 100mg for that and it works for me.
