> Hi, I am been on 200mg of Effexor for about 2 months now...in total been on it for about a year. I am getting worried because it seems that when I increase the dose I feel great for about 3-4 weeks but then those terrible thoughts come back.

> Has anyone else had that experience? I am scared and wonder if I will ever feel good again.You probably will feel good again. With all of the drugs that are now available, and all of the ways they can be combined for added effect, the odds are in your favor. Unfortunately, the process of finding the right ones can be lengthy.
For many people, Effexor doesn't really start working well until they arrive at a dosage of 300mg. If you maintain a partial response to it at that dosage, you might consider adding Wellbutrin rather than making a complete switch. There are a great many choices.
