A member asked:
Is there a parabolic relationship btw the efficacy of effexor (venlafaxine) and dose? is there a point at which higher doses become not only ineffective but harmful
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See answer: With many medications, including Effexor, (venlafaxine) as you increase the dose you reach a point beyond which no additional efficacy is gained by further increase and/or unacceptable side effects occur.
