My doctor upped my dosage by 37.5mg every 3 to 4 weeks until I reached 150mg. At this level, I can't exactly remember what happened, I would have to say that I started feeling normal and better each day. I've now been at this dosage for two months and am still getting improvement.
Regarding your initial success, there are some on the board who have said if you have this with a medication that then it is a fit for yourself. I too had spurts of energy (fatigue has been my main symptom) when I started the effexor. It came like spits of rain on a day that can't decide wether its going to pour or be sunny.
Today I went tubing (sliding with an inner tube on a downhill ski slope) with my children. As the tow was pulling me up the hill I was just enjoying the moment and the thought crossed my mind that it would have never been so pleasant for me without the help of effexor.
