> > I HAD INSOMNIA FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS -- WAKING AT 4 AM FOR THE DAY, USUALLY -- BUT IT DID GO AWAY. EXERCISE (2MI WALKING) IN AM HELPED ME TO BE SLEEPY IN PM. FRANKLY IT WAS SUCH A BLESSING NOT TO BE HAVING PANIC ATTACKS THAT I WAS EUPHORIC AT 4 AM. HOWEVER STARTED BIRTH CONTROL PILLS 30 DAYS AGO AND HAVE MAJOR RECURRENCE OF DEPRESSION. I AM GOING BACK TO BOTH GYN AND PSYCHIATRIST THIS WEEK. HAS ANYONE FOUND THAT EFFEXOR LOSES ITS PUNCH AFTER A YEAR OR SO?
i have been on effexor xr for approx 1 year. i have not experienced any problems getting to sleep however the nightmares are something else. i could probably write some pretty scary novels. i do feel like my dosage might need to be increased. has anyone experienced pvc's (premature ventricular contractions) while taking effexor xr?
