Increase in the dose will help

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.

I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.

It appears that XXXXXXX is having depression and her doctor is trying to treat the same. If at present she is not having sufficient improvement with effexor 150mg then her dose shouod certainly be increased. Effexor doee can be raised to 225kg - 300mg. Also it would be wise to get her thyroid profile and B12 levels checked. You may discuss these increase inndose and further investigations with your treating doctor.
Healthcare magic being an online forum, its not allowed to prescribe the medicines without physically examining you. Moreover you would need prescription from a local doctor who is licensed to practice in your country. Advised to discuss this issue with your treating pscyhiatrist.

Hope I am able to answer your concerns.

If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.

If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for me, so that I get a good feedback.
