KRM123,
Hi! I'm on 300mg Effexor (non-XR) daily plus 100mg Trazadone at night. I went from 200mg to 300mg about 2 weeks ago. After yet again experiencing side effects (SE's) after the increased dose, I am now cruising along fine. Effexor doesn't seem to give me an energy boost, but in comparison to 4 months ago, I guess it does. I don't feel like jogging 10 miles (or even 1) but I do feel capable of handling my 10-hour work day, emptying my dishwasher before I have to, etc etc.

Realize, you may have to reach your individual *therapeutic* level first. I wouldn't go up to 300mg unless you felt SOME benefit at 150mg first.

Good Luck!

> I've heard that Effexor gives a pretty good energy boost because of the norephrinepine. However I have been on it for two weeks and feel very sedated. Is there ANYTHING that will help with my motivation?? I'm also taking 50mg Zoloft. Thanks.
