In reply to Increasing Effexor - A beginner's Question, posted by AnneL on March 20, 2001, at 22:36:31
Anne - I have never taken Effexor. I know that 37.5 is a starting dose. But you said that you are able to sleep with the Klonopin. You also said that your anxiety has subsided. Do you currently have depression? Unless the answer is yes, maybe you should not increase the Effexor at this point in time. You can always increase it in the future if you feel the need to.
> I've been on Effexor 37.5 mg for one week now and have gotten over the "wierd feelings" associated with getting used to this med. I still get some anxiety from time-to-time, but am able to ride it out. Klonopin 0.5 mg. at night makes for a very anxiety-free, pleasant sleep. Can I expect all my various side effects to double when I double my dose to 75 mg?Will my insomnia lessen over time? Thanks, AnneL
