In reply to Generalized Anxiety Disorder Effexor XR, posted by MDR on March 4, 2002, at 15:28:17

I'm taking 75mg a day of Effexor XR against anxiety and long-standing dysthymia, with good results. I've been on 75mg a day for 2 months now, and I'll stay at that level unless the effectiveness decreases. I read a lot about much much higher dosages, but so far I'm having success at that level.

I had MANY serious side effects in the first week (at 37.5mg a day only), so it may take a while before you can assess the performance of Effexor XR. If you feel weird or downright bad for up to a few weeks, talk to your doc and try waiting some more, things might improve and Effexor XR might turn out to be worth toughing it out initially. It's been my experience so far (3.5 months total).
