Hello, Venlafaxine can be given up to dosage of 225 mg; for anxiety dose range is 150-225mg. It is slowly increased for better tolerability. Even after trying for a month at therapeutic dose if there is no improvement then your psychiatrist will think of changing medication.
Next Steps
Wait for few days till medication start showing its effect. Have regular follow up as advised by your psychiatrist. Best Wishes.
