A member asked:
I'm on 150mg of effexor (venlafaxine). will upping it to 225mg make a considerable difference on my depression? is it worth it?

It very well could: I have had to sometimes push the dose to 375 mg before seeing results.

Generally: Generally follow the direction of your prescribing physician. Each person is different and how you will react to the medicine can not be predicted. Some people do benefit from the increase in dose while others dont.
