Effexor not quite working, what's highest mg?

Hi. Out of curiosity. What's highest dose allowed for Effexor extended release capsules? I'm at 150 at 180lbs and my anxiety wanted to know before I called someone..

Not all meds work the same for everyone.  You might be better off with a different drug.  I take Prozac and have for many years.  They tried to switch me for pregnancy and just for a break, paxil was ok and Effexor did nothing for me.  

website says:  Panic Disorder. The recommended starting dose is 37.5 mg per day of Effexor XR for 7 days. Patients not responding to 75 mg per day may benefit from dose increases to a maximum of approximately 225 mg per day, o you can increase but it also can take time to see the benefits as you build up.
