> I have been on Effexor XR for about 3 years now and up to 300mg per day. I experience a lessening of Effexors effectiveness about every six months and subsequently have had to steadily increase my dosage. My dr has stated that although I have not had any negative side effects (i.e. blood pressure), this is as high as he wants to go for me and said that it may be time to move on and try something else (Celexa...great, I have to learn all about the quirks of yet another AD). I was on Zoloft for about 3 years prior to Effexor and it lost effectiveness as well.

The top dosage that I was ever at on Effexor XR was 367.5mg/daily. I've read several people on this board who have been higher.
Good luck with whatever you do. I hope you find something that will work for you. I know how you feel about having to try another med. It sucks!
