effexor dosage

[henry2057]

I am taking 75mg of effexor xr and just started taking a higher does of 37.5 mg.  How long does it usually take for the higher dose to take effect?  When should I notice a difference, if any?
thanks

Everyone is different but give at least 4 week.Could be sooner could take more but give it time.It took my combo of meds about 6 weeks to kick in although I started feeling better about a week after taking them.I am bi polar so I take 2 meds.
Hang in there and give it time ok?

yer descrip is a bit mysterious......usually takes 36 to 48 hrs for a dosage change to be effective as the body only absorbs it so much at a time, this is why most anti dep. and the like take up to 2 mos to be totally effctive.give it a chance my friend.....any signs of probs, call the doc asap. here 4 ya, 'core

have you ever taken effexor before?  Thanks for your quick response on the first question.

[henry2057]

it also says on some websites that the average dose of effexor is 75mg but the effective dose is 125-150mg, what does that mean? Is it saying that 75mg doesn't work as well?

I havent been on effexor but my daughter has.She didnt like it much and switched to celexa.
I have been on many other meds(I am bi polar) before I got the combo of celexa zyprexa.
Keep close tabs on your med and talk to your doc if you feel like it isnt working.You may have to try a different one.But do give the effexor time to do its thing which is to help you feel good and healthy.

I never saw any addition results until I went up to 150 mg.  It did take a couple of weeks to really feel the difference.

i take 75 mg.. my mom takes 225mg... it depends on how much you actually need.. everyone starts out on 37.5 and they work up from there.. i noticed a difference in dosage almost immediately.. if you still arent feeling good, you may have to continue to go up on dosage.. i would give it a week or two and then if you arent noticing a difference, talk to your doctor =-) best wishes
