Hi all,
I hope you are well...I really need some help / feedback. 3 weeks ago, my doc raised my effexor prescription to 262.5 mg. Now, I've always had a nervous stomach, prone to feeling queezy etc... but now I feel like I'm going to throw up all the time! (and sometimes i do... :(
Now, i only take it every 2 days because I feel so ill all the time, but now I'm getting the effexor 'brain shivers' all the time.
Rock and a hard place eh?
What can I do? Am I on too much? My mother thinks I may be becoming toxic. I'm tired of being so ill all the time!
Please help if you can!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I feel really really ill guys. And, I feel scared too... :{
For both depression and anxiety the usual starting dose is 75 milligrams once daily, although some people begin with a dose of 37.5 milligrams for the first 4 to 7 days. Your doctor may gradually increase the dose, in steps of no more than 75 milligrams, up to a maximum of 225 milligrams daily. As with regular Effexor, the doctor will make adjustments in your dosage if you have kidney or liver disease.
I looked it up on google. Phone the hospital! Just in case :)
I'm really scared guys.
