From all the posts I have read it sounds like the mental health system in the UK is a mess. You have to be way suicidal to get in. That is a shame. 375mg of Effexor is a high dose. The most I have been able to handle is 225mg. I have never had trouble coming off of it but I guess many have had severe withdrawal symptoms.
I am taking Lamactil along with Fetzima. The Fetzima I just started taking. Lamictal for a couple of months. I did notice a significant improvement in mood with the Lamictal. It is a mood stabilizer being prescribed off label for MDD.
