The usual starting Effexor dosage is 75 mg total per day, divided up into two or three smaller doses. You should try to take the medication with food. Your healthcare provider may lower your dose if you experience side effects or increase your dose if your symptoms are not adequately controlled.
Although there is not necessarily a best time to take Effexor, the medication should be taken at the same times each day. This helps to maintain an even level of medicine in your blood.
