>And, although a friend told me that people with anxiety often respond to lower doses of SSRIs than those with depression, I could never find anything in print about it.
In the treatment of Generalised Anxiety Disorder and Social Anxiety Disorder, 75mg Effexor XR is the 'standard dose'. Higher doses may be needed to treat severe depression. Effexor is not normally chosen to treat OCD, but if it was, a high dose would probably be necessary in most patients.
