hi all,

i am taking 150mg venlafaxine, i have been on that dose for a month now (i was on 75mg for a month previously)

i'm finding that although i feel like it is working, it's not working quite as well as i hoped (i still get some depression and anxiety, enough to still be bothersome)

i know some might say at this point to increase my venlafaxine dose again (or keep going longer on the 150g dose), but i have been in this position before in the past with this and other meds like citalopram, sertraline and some others - i increase but it doesn't tend to help, but instead often just increases side effects or i have an increase in anxiety

i was wondering, does anyone take anything along with their venlafaxine? i have read about some people taking eg. a small dose of mirtazapine with their venlafaxine

thank you for any advice
