Hi Z,
I was mistaken. I went from 150 to 225 then 300. I really don't remember bad side effects other than the sweating, not sleeping at night. It was at 225 that I started taking Effexor XR before noon and had more energy. When I went to 300 mgs. I don't remember the side effects getting worse, I just remember that I was smiling more and was finally feeling happy (more so than not). Although I still have the anxioty but I take xanex for that.

I'm impressed that you went in one leap from 150 to 300. Does your non-mention of side effects mean it was a relatively easy increase? Is it your experience that the higher you go, the more your body is already used to Effexor and makes the transition easier, even when it means doubling from 150 to 300??
