A member asked:
I'm on 75mg xr of effexor (venlafaxine) for a few weeks, how do i decide if increasing to 150mg xr will be smart? or should i stay at 75mg? how to decide?

See your physician: It depends on whether you are tolerating the current dose well with no increase in blood pressure and whether it is alleviating your symptoms and how much it helps. If it is helping you at 75, but not enough, increasing it with your physician might be a good plan.
