In reply to My Experience With Effexor, posted by Ms. Jones on December 9, 2002, at 7:36:54
Ms. Jones,
I am glad that you have found a med combo that works for you. I also take Effexor and at every increase I have felt "high", some wierd visual perception changes and well "high" just describes it perfectly. I found that the highest dose I could tolerate is 225 mg. I tried 262.5 mg. for about 2 weeks and after the "high" feeling passed, I thought I had it made, but unfortunately, the increased dose made me very, very irritable and hostle. Back to 225 and within 24 hours I was my "sedate" being. Yes, Effexor does cause me to be less active than I would really want, but it seems to work. I like your attitude toward your needing medication. It is a good reminder for me. Take care, :) Anne
