I am so sorry to hear your tale and I concur wholeheartedly with what has been said here. Effexor DOES lower the seizure threshold as I had seizures on it with no prior (or current) dx of epilepsy. I was on (supposedly) the max. therapeutic dose and that was 375mg. 600mg seems WAY out of control. That's the largest dosage I've ever even heard of! Prior to this it was only 450 and I still thought that was outrageous.
My sympathies to you and I sincerely wish you the closure that you need.
