Venlafaxine overdose

bt1994
I have been taking venlafaxine for 3 months now and have increased my dosage to 300mg daily.

Has anyone taken an overdose of this medication, if so:

- what dosage did you overdose on?
- what were the effects, both short & long term

Thanks

I have never taken over the prescribed 150 mg of Effexor, but am curious about the effects you're having at 300mg?

I am currently on 75 MG but my doctor is going to raise my dose next visit. I am curious as well to hear your experienced symptoms. To maybe lookout for them myself as Dr. increases my dose. Thank you
