That's the dosage - 225, that I just quit. Read this board carefully and do some research. Effexor XR seems to be the flavor of the month with so many medical professionals. There are loads others out there, so make sure that you are taking the right one for you. I cannot stress enough that the patient is really the one in charge of her healing, not the doctors or the mental health pros. They are parts of the solution, but the true responsibility for healing lies with the patient in making informed choices and not going along with everything just because "the doctor says."
I am going through a nasty withdrawal from 225. This drug gets into your system and does not want to let go - ever. So, please, do your research, because the pharmacists won't tell you, the doctors won't tell you and the mental health pros won't tell you everything you need to know, no matter how caring and good they are. I wish you much success with defeating this horrible monster of depression.
