In reply to Effexor EX No Sleep!!, posted by Nat A. on October 3, 2001, at 8:37:46
Dear Nat,
I have taken Effexor for several years and I have had the same problem. My doctor gave me some Trazadone to help me sleep at night. I only took half a tablet and it knocked me out. I used the Trazadone for 2 or 3 days and then I didn't need it anymore. Apparently I had adjusted to the Effexor.
Of course everybody is different, but you could ask your doctor about it if you don't adjust to your Effexor pretty soon.
