In reply to Re: EFFEXOR: How many days before going up dosage?, posted by Penny on March 27, 2002, at 8:49:15
Hi penny, can you hear the lambs crying? (hehehe)
So, here we are,
my pdoc switched me from other ssri (paxil, zoloft,...) cause they gave me heavy side effects (dizzy, drowsy...) to Effexor.
He said that on Effexor i probably shouldn't have those side effects.
He said that the rate of incresing dosage, should be tested by me: if in few days or a week, i felt no side effects or side effects faded, i could go up to 150 mg/d, and so on till 225 mg.
Actually i feel no disease (first days a little somnolence after taken cap) but, of course, still no antidepressant effect.
My pdoc said, at the end, that Effexor, to be effective, must be taken up to 225 mg/d.
What's your experience (right effects, side effects,.....)?
How do you divide your dosage in the day? (for ex: 75 in the morning, 150 at evening....).
Let me know something about.
Thanks and .... greetings from Italy
Bye
