Goodness, 600 mg's seems like a lot to me since I'm only at 50 mg's now ( and that is double what I started on). I'm suppose to go up to 100 mg's this week, but I guess I didn't realize that the dosage could go that high. My psychiatrist said that people usually only get the rashes if they are quickly bumped up to a higher dosage which is why he will only up mine ever 2 weeks, but he hasn't told me what the goal dosage is.

My shaking is less now that in was, but i'm still dealing with the anxiety, just not so extremely. And my Effexor has been raised from 150 mg to 225 mg.

Anyway, one or both of them are working because my body and mind are coming out of this major depression. So I know it's working for me.

Good luck and God Bless,
Jenna
