> I'm up to 300mg and my D = 9 and M = 7-- not much of a change from before Effexor (with Lexapro).
> But being tired all the time has taken a new twist: I'm tired but keep waking up at 3am for the past week or so (been at 300mg not quite one week). I wake up regardless

> I had been taking my Effexor at about 4pm, found that this worked well for sleeping, but maybe at this new dose I'll have to change times.
> So yes, the tiredness can kind of go away, but your motivation may not increase.Taking the Effexor earlier should solve the problem, I would think. If not, you might want to consider something longer-lasting for sleep.. Ambien perhaps.
