Yikes. I like my Effexor, and once was pumped up to 300mg+ dose for a year, but... there are 2 risks I am thinking about for you. #1 is the unknown... there is no research on long-term side effects at that dose, although it is known that Effexor has caused heart and/or liver damage. #2 is the nightmare of withdrawal even when reducing Effexor by a tiny bit.

Is EffexorXR all you are on? Maybe a nice little drug cocktail could "boost" the Effexor effect without adding a lot of intolerable side effects? It's annoying and time-consuming to experiment with a little of this and a pinch of that(Wellbutrin, trazodone, Zoloft, Luvox, Ritalin, Adderall, are just a few I've tried) but it's amazing what drug synergy can do.


Good luck and please be careful...
