Hi...I have been taking Effexor XR-75mg per day for 3.5 months and find that I sleep until about 11 a.m., get tired about 4 p.m., and in general have no energy or desire to do anything!! Granted, I no longer suffer from depression and anxiety, and have fewer intrusive thoughts, but over time, the lethargy and sleepiness have not decreased. Have others experienced these side effects?

Yes -- that was me. Until I was put on ritalin as a stimulant -- now I can actually function. I take my effexor at night, and the ritalin in the morning and afternoon..

Me too, Janie. Adding methylphenidate (generic Ritalin) helped a lot. Ask your doctor.
