The only reason I mentioned it is because it was one of Bleauberry's suggestions. It seems his doctor uses this sort of strategy. I really don't see how it would work, but you never know. If you have never tried Effexor before, you will, of course, want to start at a low dosage and move up slowly.From what I can gather, the minimum dosage of Effexor that people respond to when used alone is 150mg. I don't consider giving Effexor a full trial until one goes up to 300mg. If I ever return to Effexor, it will be at 300mg in combination with 150mg of nortriptyline.
