No please don't. Take vitamin B complex 100 according to directions n the bottle. It helps elevate the mood and is good for the nerves. It can be purchased at grocery stores and drug stores.
My very best to you,

Robin, don't do that. I am on lexapro, and wanted so badly to take 2 or 3 extra pills bcuz i was so sad and didn't feel like waiting anymore, and just wanted the drugs to do it for me. I got to my psych, and he boosted the dose for me. Just hang in there, you can't diagnose yourself to say how much more you need. |

Never, ever change the dosage of any medication or combine it with anything else, esp over the counter stuff until you have spoken to your mental health provider who is prescribing your meds/treatment. Many of those meds work by changing brain wave patterns.....too much can have a disastrous effect....my ex caused seisures and blackouts by doing what you propose.......if it gets to bad contact your dr/therapist/psychologist or a mental health clinic, hospital...there's a professionalout there who can help. Never self medicate, ever...Good Luck and hang in there.... |

No.
1. it can seriously harm your liver
2. you can feel withdrawl symptoms badly when you go back to the normal dose, including physical symptoms mimicking heroin withdrawl
can you just talk to your dr instead of changing any drug doses? Would he give you a phone session? |

You shouldnt change your medications without talking to your doctor since he knows what else you are on, what your symptoms are, etc. |

You shouldn't make any medicinal changes unless you speak with your Dr. Usually, if you call into the office & relay the problem you're having, the nurse will consult with the Dr. and give you a call back. Don't do anything without consulting your Dr. because he/she knows best. |

NO!!
Going from 150mg to 300mg flipped me to manic and got me a new dx. You do not want to make that move on your own! Effexor plays with different neurotransmitters at higher doses.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Normal adult dosages of Effexor are between 75 and 225 mgs per day. If you double it you're way over that.
I know it's Friday but if you surround yourself with nice people this weekend I'm sure you can get through til Monday morning. If the meds aren't working there may be more to it than just the dosage hon, may be clashing with something else or just not the one for you.

Never self-medicate/play around with your dosage. The consequences can be severe and not always visible straight away. Try to keep yourself safe and make it through the weekend a step at a time. If you feel really bad try calling the NHS Direct helpline or get yourself to your nearest A&E department where there should be a duty psychiatrist (or some other mental health clinician) you can speak to. Please don't mess around with your meds without consulting your prescribing clinician.
