My thoughts go out to you on the loss of your wife. Thank you for your comments. I agree the 600mgs seem to be a very high dose rate of Effexor. It is totally unreal what some Drs end up getting away with. As you said hopefully more people will read these type of posts and realize that Effexor isn't always what it is jacked up to be.
All the best for the future.
