I've been on 150mg. of Effexor XR for 3 years now. But I've been having more frequent depressive episodes lately. I tell her about them each time I go, and she wanted to up my meds a while back, but i was reluctant to let her.
But today I asked her to up my medicine. I really hate having to even take medicine, but I guess I need it.

I know everyone responds to meds differently. But if any of you were on 150mg. of Effexor XR and bumped up to 225 mg. how long did it take until you felt "better." I hope I feel better soon. I'm sick of feeling blah.
