My opinion is you should listen to your body. You are doing fine........stay there.

> I have PMDD, which makes for many a teary mood swing during two weeks every month. Additionally I have seasonal affective disorder, and actually moved to the southwest in order to escape the debilitating symptoms of lack of sun. I tried Sam-e last winter when the fatigue set in, with fair result, but this year it seemed to have lost it's efficacy. I finally broke down and asked my therapist to recommend an antidepressant, and have been taking 37.5 mg of Effexor XR daily for two weeks. My hormones have not caused me to cry, and I feel awake and energetic during the day now (two weeks ago I was drinking MAJOR caffeine just to drag myself around and barely get anything done). My question is this-if I'm feeling so much better on 37.5 mgs a day, why should I increase the dosage? It seems the likelihood of side effects increases, and I'm not really suffering from any now.
