Terry, I feel very awake all the time on Effexor XR. Some people have mentioned nightmares, my nightmares have almost stopped with Effexor. Seems as with all meds, the side effects vary greatly. Also some mention gaining weight, I have to remind myself to eat while on this stuff. Interesting.

> Terry - Many people feel tired at first, while taking Effexor. This is one of the initial "start-up" side effects and usually disappears, or at least lessens greatly, in about 2 (sometimes as long as 4) weeks. Hang in there and keep us posted on how it goes. - Cam
