Is it safe to take high dose effexor with Paxil?

Posted by denise1966 on September 23, 2005, at 11:34:08

Hi,
I don't think this Paxil at 60mg is going to work, It's only been 5 days but I just have this horrible feeling that it's not going to work as well as it did 2 years ago (which was never a complete response). I know what a complete response is because I used to get one from Paxil 20mg about 10 years ago, have never felt as good as I did then.
I did try Effexor about 3 years ago but only at a low dose of 150mg and it didn't really help apart from make me feel a bit out of it at times, although it was relaxing.
I was thinking of dropping the Paxil to 40mg (don't want to come off it completely) and asking the psychiatrist if I can add 300mg of Effexor. Or should I try adding high dose Remeron instead? I also tried Remeron years ago and got really bad anxiety on it and a really zombie like feeling but again I only went up to 15mg.

Would either of these combinations be safe?
Thanks.....Denise
