Hi,
I just started Effexor. I am not very keen on it and also don't really expect much from it. I alrady tried Cymbalta up to 120mg and it also did nothing so why should Effexor?
What also scares me about Effexor is the withdrawal issues which seem to be very bad for some people.
And I also heard that Effexor when you go above 225mg can cause heart attacks! But my pdoc said that you can go up to 300mg. In the instruction leaflet it even says up to 375mg!Has anyone been that high?
I imagine that getting off Effexor when you're used to such a high dose might be impossible then you're stuck on it forever.Another issue is that I also take Vyvanse. And I dont know if high doses Effexor + Amphetamines might not be too risky because of serotonin syndrome. There is a case report of serotonin syndrome from Effexor + Amphetamines.
