My response to effexor sounds quite simular to yours regarding increased irritability as the dose increases. I like effexor but anything over 37.5 causes me to become quite short tempered. I have been taking ads for 15 years and have never been prescribed a mood stabilizer other than clonazepam,which is not a true stabilizer,I think. My pdoc started me on depakote 250mg/bid last week and increased my effexor to 75mg. So far I feel better than I have in quite some time and feel I could tolerate more effexor if need be. best of luck, Rick.
