Hi,
The dosage depends upon the age of the patient. It is simply not advisable to choose any over-the-counter medicine in place of Effexor. If she is having suicidal thoughts then she has to consult a psychiatrist immediately.
There are many drugs available in the market but your doctor will prescribe suitable medication for her.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
