In reply to Effexor dosage, posted by hildi on July 9, 2002, at 21:08:56
I'm not a huge fan of trying to shoot for insane dosages of Effexor. I think taking less than 100mg/day is a wise idea. If Effexor alone doesn't cut it, combine a low dose of Effexor with a low dose of Remeron. Low dosages almost always translate into lower incidence of side effects. I recall reading that there is no such thing as a dangerous drug, only a dangerous dosage (or something to that effect). I can speak from experience in saying that having too much noradrenaline (norepinephrine) swimming around in your brain is not fun at all. It has a lot in common with mania. Taking non XR Effexor twice daily is a smart idea. I really dislike the idea of taking more than 300mg/day of Effexor; that just bothers me.
