if it means anything, i've been at 100mg for a week and a half. i've always noticed a very distinct effect on effexor when moving from 225mg to 300mg. 225 didn't hit the depression hard enough, and 300mg after a few days would make me hypomanic. i also have a quick and progressive, dose-related response to effexor.
on pristiq, so far, i haven't felt much relief even at 100mg. so for me, 100mg isn't equivalent to 300mg of effexor, at least not yet, so i may have to go higher.
i was surprised clinical trials didn't show any additional benefit to 100mg of pristiq. maybe the higher doses required of effexor is more related to metabolism differences between people.
ahh well who the hell knows with these damn things.
keep praying for me all who read this, i'm not out of the woods yet. going back for some rTMS this week hopefully to help things along.
