Just curious if anyone is taking a dose of anything that is over and above the recommended maximum. My in-house pdoc put me on 450 mg Effexor XR -- I've been at 375 (the max, as far as I knew) for years.

I called my regular pdoc and he said two things: 1, that he regularly goes over the max recommended on several drugs, just not Effexor, and 2, that I should trust my in-house guy because he sees the hardcore cases in the hospital and knows better what works. (Good to know I'm considered "hard-core" ....)

It's not that I don't trust either of them, I'm just a little worried and a lot curious. Anybody know anything about this?
