Hi all,

I began taking Effexor XR (75mg) about six months ago and initally was doing great! I actually felt good, and that is not "normal" for me. Then, I began to not feel so good, and started getting down again and even crying for no reason. The dr. just upped it to 150mg. daily, and though I have been doing that for the past 9 days, I can't say that I feel any better. Actually, I feel irritable! And I have a very hard time sleeping.
I also was taking some 5-HTP along with the lower dose but was concerned about mixing the two so i stopped.
Have I become immune to the effexor?

Thanks, Tina
