> Hi there, im currently on 225 mg of it and have heard of people on much higher doses, is this because it doesnt work on certain chemicals until u reach 300? As im thinking of going up to 300, ive been feeling better buthad a drink relapse and now am pretty low again. Can you give me some advice please?

>Hi CarrieJane,
Blood pressure monitoring is probably the best way to see where you are with your doseage. As you increase it, your blood pressure will raise when Effexor begins to increase norepinephrine. Most people take it in the 75mg to 225mg dosage, but you can go up 375mg with close attention paid by your doctor.
Cheers,
Paul.
