> Last visit... my doctor wanted me to up my Effexor to 225 mg a day. I said ok... but quickly changed my mind after I left. The reason for the dosage up is that Effexor has pooped out... it probably won't poop back in after a dose increase, that rarely seems to happen. But it's not just that... I don't want to get the "SSRI effect"... the flattening, you guys know. Besides, SSRIs/SNRIs have never been fully effective for me.

I would do
1. Nardil
2. Anafranil.
3. Parnate.Just remember Nardil can be brilliant for OCD too. It helped my quite a bit, but not enough.
Good luck to you mate.
