Effexor has helped me tremendously. I take 225mg at around 7:00am ( I work at 5:30am).I drink a large cup of coffee when I get to work. By 10:30 I am yawning and tired until about 1:00 in the afternoon. I just keep drinking a lot of water. I fall asleep at around 9:00 and will wake up at 12:00 and around 3:00. I get up at 4:30.
I have noticed an improvement in my sleeping. I used to be much more tired. I have been taking effexor since August. I have been at 225 since November. When I get very stressed (which I try to avoid) I get a very bad headache. I then get really afraid that I will get depressed again. I guess that I will always be afraid of that. For me the minimal side effects are a million times better then being depressed and not able to function.
