A member asked:
Do you think that 225mg of effexor (venlafaxine) is strong enough for most people with depression? what's the next option if it's not working?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Effexor (venlafaxine): Effexor (venlafaxine) is safe up to 450 mg/day. Most people end up on about 150 mg/day. Any dose above 150 also helps with anxiety.
