I have been on Venlafaxine (generic brand, known as Effexor) 50~75mg for 2 weeks, today my doctor without telling me absolutely nothing about it, changed my medication from "normal" 50mg Venlafaxine tablets to 150mg Venlafaxine XR tablets. I assume it thought it was time to up my dose, I guess that's fine.. but I am worried about the extended release thing. Besides feeling "happy", with more willpower again, and some weird analgesic effects I won't discuss here, I used to get a kind of high, mild euphoric feeling when doing 75mg Venlafaxine "normal" tablets, that alone was enough for me to not abuse other drugs- I read that Venlafaxine XR is not exactly the same as Venlafaxine (which sounds weird), I would like to get some advice on this. Also, for the record, I am one of the lucky persons with a very fast CYP2D6 metabolism (Codeine, and specially Tramadol worked pretty much instantaneously on me, and got me super high, more than other "real" opiates), how does this would affect the rate Venlafaxine works on me?
Thanks in advance
