> Oh, I forgot to mention that taking it at night affected my ability to stay asleep (waking up several time and not able to fall back asleep) which is why I have to take it in the morning.
It makes me take a nap everyday for at least an hour. I am on 150mg, and I also take provigil. How much provigil do you take?I am going to ask the doctor to boost my provigil from 100mg a day because i would rather not waste 1-2 hours a day sleeping when i wasn't having this issue before. I like effexor. it seriously has helped me with my depressive and anxiety symptoms. Other SSRIs have a similar effect on me but not as much as an antidepressant kick as effexor, so i have to weigh the pros and cons. wellbutrin was making me irritable, so i made the switch back to good ol' effexor.
