Hi,
Anyone here on Effexor, whos from the UK? How much do you take? And how long did your doc make you wait between dose increases? I heard some story that docs wont put you above 150mg unless you've been hospitalised. Is that really true?? Hmm. Please somebody let me know otherwise! The drug has worked well so far, clearing my head a bit. But my depression has far from lifted. Im terrified that some doctors gonna pull me off the stuff (which I would not not not want to do, as it really has been great so far) and shouve me on again something new (which means yuky transitions, and a plunge back into the darkness..eek). Do you think they'd do that?
And are any of you seeing pyschiatrists? It works so different here doesnt it (to the USA I mean). Iv just been referred by my GP, but dont know what to expect.
Anybody have any stories? Or kind of, been there, done that? Did your GP refer you? Id really like to hear from you!!
Im currently on 150mg Effexor for depression and anxiety (and mild OCD - although thats not a prob at this dose now).
Thanks!!!
