In reply to What is the highest dose taken of effexor 375mg., posted by THE_CROW on November 14, 2001, at 12:49:58
I was bumped up from 150mg of Effexor (not XR) to 3 capsules a day which now brings it up to 225mg daily. My Psychiatrist tells me that she has never and would never put anyone on Effexor above 300mg.
Don't know if this helps..but this is what my shrink had to say.
P.L.
> I read earlier one person said he was on 600mg of Effexor XR?

> When I read that I thought of the PDR's recomendations of the highest being 375mg, but I was wondering if there are special circumstances where a patient IS prescribed a higher dosage?
