> i have been on effexor for 5 months now. it is the only medication i have taken that has the least amount of side-effects (unlike paxil, zoloft, celexa, buspar all which gave me terrible side-effects). actually the only side-effect i have from Effexor is delayed-orgasm. i'm taking it for severe, chronic panic attacks. As soon as i started taking 112.5mgs (one 37.5mg and a 75mg) i felt awesome for a month and a half. no panic attacks what so ever and a normal life back. after that period i had a weeks worth of multiple panic attacks a day. so my doctor increased my dose to 150mgs, which i hace been on for a month now. was fine for that whole month but the past two days have been terrible, multiple attacks. i'm also on Xanax but i dont take them much since i'm in college and really want to remember what i study. Should i increase my effexor dose again? has anyone had this problem of having a good month then several bad days? it's a lot better than without medication but it's real hard to be in class and have to leave on account of panic attacks and be miserable for the whole day waiting for the next one.


I would speak with your doctor right away. I've seen several people up to 225 MG, but I wouldn't think anything about that would be beneficial from what I've read.
