I just started taking 37.5 mg of EffexorXR to augment (and hopefully boost) my 30mg of Celexa. I have some knowledge of EffexorXR, for example, that at different doses it works on various neurotransmitters, although I'm not sure what the dose levels are. All I know is that it is capable of working on Serotonin, Norepinephrine and Dopamine.
I also know that when people are started on EffexorXR, the initial dose is 37.5 mg and they ramp up (titrate) up from there. But I'm not sure this is a *therapeutic* dose? I'm thinking that 75 mg is the minimal therapeutic dose, and would appreciate it if someone could confirm this or if I'm wrong, please provide the correct info!
Also, if anyone could confirm or correct me on whether it's 75 mg of EffexorXR that targets just Serotonin, 150 mg that targets both Serotonin and Neurepinephrine and perhaps 225 mg that targets these two as well as Dopamine?
Thanks.
