Does anyone else experience a decline in mood around 3 hours after dosing? I have no idea whether to take 2 large doses or small doses in 5 hour intervals

I take Effexor extended release in the morning, It doesn't affect me in the way you stated, but I;m also taking Zyprexa in the evening for treating Bipolar mania. Perhaps you can contact your doctor or nurse?
Good Luck!

I've never had that but I found the withdrawals are downright scary if you ever run out or forget to take your normal dose. I ended up in the ER feeling like the end was neigh. DOOM is the only word that begins to describe it. I'd really like to transition to a different medication that isn't so precipitous like that upon discontinuation. Sudden Effexor withdrawal is serious. It's a traumatic form of chemical torture. Be careful.

I'm on 1 150mg venlafaxine(effexor) extended release in the morning and 2mg clonazepam and 23.5mg mirtazapine at night, and my mood is flat all day long. If anything the effexor makes me irritable.
