300 mg. effexor-2weeks--help

Posted by edward602 on February 27, 2002, at 10:11:10

I have been on effexor 300 mg. for two weeks, having built it up over several weeks. I suffer from moderate to severe depression, obsessions and bad anxiety. It has lessened the anxiety somewhat, and I sleep better. Otherwise I am still very depressed.

Do people have experience with effexor, large doses, kicking in beyond 2 weeks. I have put up wioth extreme sleepiness adjusting to this drug and don't want to quit but don't want to waste time either. Advice?

Edward,
Iv been on Remeron 30mg for 1 yr. It helped my anxiety somewhat, but still need xanax. It also helped sleep 100 percent. Depression, mmm, very little. I dont have anger all the time, but i may as my pdoc to add an ssri to my combo. Im also on desipramine, which helps alot, but maily to augment remeron sedation. Try to add another seratonin med.
