Hey there, hang in there and talk to your doc-yes. The highest dose of Effexor I tried was 150mg, but for the most part-I stayed on 75mg. I currently started Lexapro 4 days ago, I have been on every SSRI except Zoloft and Lexapro-so my doc and I chose Lexapro for now. The 75mg of Effexor indeed give me enough energy and helped with food cravings-I didn't gain much weight on that med at all (about 6 Lbs) I also take meds at night to sleep and did when I was on Effexor because it can tend to make one *manic* if you have bipolar.
May I ask what your diagnosis is?> Thanks for responding Gal...I'm really not sure what to do. I guess I'll just have to talk to my pDoc. What was the highest dose of Effexor that you ever tried? Do you mind me asking what you are currently taking now? Did the 75mg alone give you energy and help with food cravings??
> thanks
