Question: Does two 75mg Effexor xr work the same as one 150mg Effexor xr? I realize the numbers add up, but will the results be the same? I have only done this new method for three day and don't feel as well.

Brief Answer:
No difference between effexor 75 and 150

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

There should be no difference with the metabolism or absorption with taking Effexor 75mg two capsules and taking 150mg capsule at one time. I do not know why you should be feeling any different with the change in capsules. I may recommend taking the medication with food to help absorption.

I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
