A member asked:

Does dose increase of effexor (venlafaxine) from 75 to 150 bring more risks than benefits for gad ? is it better to try some adjunctive med? have been on it 12 week

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necessarily: Although it is a fairly high dose, I am sure your physician increased it because your symptoms have not improved. If you haven't tried already, I would suggest psychologic counseling in conjunction with this medication as it may help you and hopefully get off this medication. If the change in dose is affecting your mood for the worse then immediately stop and let your doctor know.
