In reply to Effexor XR - Dosage?, posted by LynnPerley on May 2, 2002, at 17:55:41
>took the second one which made me realize I may have taken two. Last night I slept better than I have since I started taking this, and I've had much less of the sedated kind of feeling all day. I wonder if I need to increase my dosage? I'm going back to the one capsule per evening and giving it a few more days before I call the doctor, but I was wondering if anyone had any personal experiences or observations to share?
I had a vague memory of the permitted dosage of Effexor XR being VERY large, so I checked...
http://www.healthsquare.com/newrx/EFF1153.HTMYou're all clear, it's perfectly sensible.
In fact, I remember someone saying that at higher doses, EffexorXR is much more energizing and sometimes much more effective too. :)
If you have a decent relationship with your doc, I'd say tell him/her the truth, that you took two by accident and felt much better!A seperate suggestion: Get one of those 7-day pillboxes, fill it on monday or at least on the same day every week, and when the little section is empty, no more drugs that day! :)
