Taking Effexor ER to control anxiety, depression. Having down moments after increasing dose. What to do?
human
Hello Dr. Grief ~ I am currently taking Effexor ER 150 mg to help with my anxiety as well as depression about 2 months ago my Doctor added an extra 37.5 mg of this medication to help with my depression. I feel worse than I did two months ago and have lots of down moments. Can this be too much for me to handle and would it cause the opposite affect?

HELLOYour doctor has increased the dose of effexor ER to help you fight depression. Sometimes increase of dose may result in temporary increased symptoms of anxiety . It will never cause increase of symptoms with higher doses. This can be controlled by addition of benzodiazepines like clonazepam , on as needed basis. After some time, the medicine will start to show effectGOOD LUCKDR SAATIISH JHUNTRRAA
