************************************************
My experience with increased dosages of Effexor XR only caused my tiredness to become worse. I took 150 mg for a long time, then it was increased to 225 mg - at that level, I just couln't stay asleep - it made me toss and turn all night. I returned to 150 mg until I gave up on it completely went on the search for another cure.
