Hi Matt :-)
>I've been on Effexor about ten days and have been doing wonderfully on it.
:D
>I was at 75mgs a few days ago (working great for a few days, then dropping off some later in the day, and more so after a couple days at this starting dose.
75mg was working well in most respects. Perhaps you should decrease the dose back down to 75mg. Effexor XR has a *short* duration of action, you may need to take it *twice* daily to get the best effect. Taken as the single daily dose, problems may arise. Withdrawal symptoms can occur between doses!
Here is my suggestion.........
Tomorrow: 75mg in the morning, 75mg in the evening.
The next couple of days: 75mg in the morning, 37.5mg in the evening
Then: 37.5mg in the morning, 37.5mg in the evening.
Kind regards
Ed
