I am currently taking 300 mg Effexor XR. I built up to 150 mg rather slowly without side effects. When my doctor increased my dosage from 150 mg to 300 mg, I just started with 300 mg the next day and still didn't notice any difference. In fact, the fourth day on 300 mg, I messed up and took 600 mg (I had been taking 2 X 75 mg, then 4 X 75 mg. My new refill was for 2 X 150 mg, but I took 4 without thinking) and STILL noticed no side effects. I know a lot of people DO need to build up slowly, but I didn't and had no problems at all.
