My only other successful anti-D was Parnate and it was no problem after only about 6 weeks.
I've been on Effexor since around Christmas and I'm still having problems with the dose (apparently). I was up to 225 mg with 30 mg of Remeron!! and was horrible ("adrenalin surges")
. I almost stopped Effex. after each dosage increase above 75 due to side effects, but I began to notice a change for the better around 150 or 187.5. Tapered off Remeron, then reduced Effexor down to my present 112.5 mg.
Maybe I need to go down to 75 mg? I guess time will tell. Clonazepam is left over sleep help from when I was on Parnate.
The new Pdoc that I see this Wed. doesn't even use Parnate.
Are you doing well on your Effex.. dose or just so-so? Don't answer unless you really want to.;)
Thanks
