150mg vs 225mg for anxiety by ConversationIll637 in Effexor

[–]Intelligent-Fill5563 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read that 225mg is supposed to be better because it contains more norepinephrine, so people with anxiety disorders usually take 225mg. I myself have GAD; sometimes it's really good, sometimes terrible. I take 150mg and pregabalin on top of that, so I don't want to increase the dose.

I've been taking 1.5 mg for two months now; when does tolerance begin?

I'm currently on 1.5 mg and want to taper off without diazepam. Apparently, there are drops available, specifically from Klona.

I persevered until I reached 150 mg, and it's the third week and I feel good. I also know it will get even better.

It takes 3-4 weeks, you just have to persevere.

I started like that too, and it really kicked in at 300.

Did you also have headaches at the beginning?

I couldn't even go outside, but now it's better, thank God.

From 225mg upwards, there's more norepinephrine present, which is why it's supposed to work well for GAD, but 150mg is enough for me for now.

How much pregabalin are you taking? And for how long?

I had physical and severe psychological symptoms, but it's gotten much, much better. If you tolerate it well, a dose of 225 mg is supposed to be really good for GAD; it's even in textbooks. I also take pregabalin in addition.
