I would go up to at least 37.5 +75= 112.5 mg for now. Or just go to 150 mg. I agree with your doc that you need an increase.
> started on effexor 37.5 for 5 days...then up to 75mg for the last 10 days...last week on day 5 of taking 75mg..i had a horrible day, depressed, just awful so i called my doc and he said to increase up to 150mg. then the next day i felt better so i did not increase my meds, just kept on taking 75mg. monday i had another bad day, not awful but just yucky...but inbetween i have been feeling soo much relief and like my old self again. all on 75mg...shd i increase to 150mg. my doc says that on 75mg i will regularly have days that i will crash , whereas on 150mg i will be up and stay up...any advice
