In reply to Effexor XR mg's bumped up. Side effects go away?!, posted by JB908 on March 11, 2006, at 10:54:39
> Hello all, I am new to the board. I have been on Effexor XR for about a year now and up until last week I was on 150 mg's. I am now on 225 mg's and experiencing alot of the side effects you all speak of.
Hi.Welcome!
How quickly did you titrate the dosage from 150mg to 225mg?
It is difficult to predict whether or not the side effects will disappear completely, but they probably will subside. I have taken 300mg of Effexor and found that the side effects you describe did subside quite a bit after a few weeks. I hope your experience with this drug is similar. Many people don't get the full benefit from Effexor until they reach 300mg. Sometimes, people go as high as 600mg.
Good luck.
