Up until September last year I had been on 150mg of venlafaxine daily.
I had a bit of an anxiety meltdown (I have health anxiety) and my meds were increased to 225mg daily.
After a couple of weeks I felt much better but lately have been really obsessing again to the point where I am thinking about it all the time.
I understand that up to 150mg venlafaxine works on the serotonin and above that dose it works in both serotonin and norepinephrine which is better for the treatment of anxiety (rather than depression, I'm not depressed).
I'm seeing my doc on Tues so am wondering if my meds need increasing again - is there an optimum dose of venlafaxine for anxiety?
