Yeah, I had problems with vomiting from single doses of just 37.5 mg immediate-release Effexor. Effexor XR didn't seem to cause any problems, though.
Can I ask what kind of breakthrough symptoms you get that require the dose increases? I'm wondering what new effects appear at the higher doses.

All things considered, I think I do too. I might be nuts for going back on Effexor after what happened last time, but I'm hoping that the Trileptal will prevent any serious problems. I also am keeping the option open of adding Remeron if side effects start showing up.
Thanks for the data point. :-)
