I was on Effexor for about 2 months. It helped initially when I was suicidal, but the tradeoff was I was tired all the time and really had to up my coffee intake to get any work done. It got to the point where I don't even trust myself to drive. I decided to stop taking it about a month ago when I was more stable and the withdrawals were bad. I'm still getting the brain zaps.
Every doctor I spoke with told me they have very little side effects compared to other antidepressants. My T had a very different view and was surprised that they prescribed it to me.
I don't know if upping your dosage will help. everyone's different. But I know that it would only make me more of a zombie.
