> > > i am on effexor up to 75mg for one week and i have noticed that i am so jumpy that i am waking up in the middle of the night and just about jumping out of my bad with anxiety. Is this at all related. I am not eadger to start another anti depressant as theI am afraid i don't have it in me to wait for another one to start working, any words of wisdom >
It is possible that it could be the Effexor, but then again, it could be something else (hard to tell). I have noticed that if I take Effexor later in the day (anything after noon), I have a harder time falling and staying asleep. I don't have the anxiety that you have described, but it does seem to keep me awake. I am doing much better now that I take it as soon as I wake up in the morning. You may want to ask your doctor if that might work better for you (if you are not already doing that).
