In reply to Effexor up to 375mg?, posted by kilo8 on October 12, 2015, at 22:19:47
alrady tried Cymbalta up to 120mg and it also did nothing so why should Effexor?
I too Cymbalta and had a good response to it. I took Effexor and it did nothing. Every drug is a different molecule, so you never know what the effects are going to be.
> What also scares me about Effexor is the withdrawal issues which seem to be very bad for some people.
Oh, boy, there a lot of horror stories out there. The truth is you should titrate off Effexor slowly just to be judicious. I quit it cold turkey, no problem.
> And I also heard that Effexor when you go above 225mg can cause heart attacks!
No. It does not cause heart attacks. What websites are you getting your drug info from?
> Has anyone been that high?
I've been that high. high as a kite, dude. And yes I've been on doses as high as 300 mg.
> I imagine that getting off Effexor when you're used to such a high dose might be impossible then you're stuck on it forever.
No.
>I dont know if high doses Effexor + Amphetamines might not be too risky because of serotonin syndrome.
The last time I checked, amphetamines don't release serotonin, so I don't know how SS could happen.
>There is a case report of serotonin syndrome from Effexor + Amphetamines.
1 case report is not worth much. Show it to me...
