I take 225mg of effexor every morning but Ive heard from a specialist that the maximum dose is 300mg & since Ive been diagnosed with severe depression that this is the level I should be having. What part of these things are true & what are false?

I've been on 375mg of Effexor for 3 1/2 years. I'm on them for the rest of my life, if I miss a dose I become very agitated, have the shakes and snap at the slightest thing. I find it very good for me, but it might not agree with everyone.
