Okay thanks. I will try the ideas that everyone gave me. I am willing to do anything at this point. What is strange is I feel exhausted but when I go to lay down, I cannot sleep. Very strange!
When does everyone take Effexor XR?
Morning or at night? When I took them in the morning, I would feel so drowsy during the day and then couldn't sleep at night. So I figured that it would be wiser to take them at night
so that I would fall asleep being drowsy.
But it didn't work out that way! When I take them at nighttime, I do not sleep well and then I am drowsy the next morning. I have read a few posts saying to take them in the morning.
I actually had problems with insomnia beforehand and needed sleeping aids before taking the Effexor. So it may have nothing to do with the actual prescription. I have used Gravol a lot and also Trazadone. I worry about side effects and/or conditions if I take Trazadone too long. Anyone know of any studies or medical reports?Thank you,
Lacey
