Re: effexor and sleep disturbance - dosage timing? » tenuous

In reply to effexor and sleep disturbance - dosage timing?, posted by tenuous on October 20, 2000, at 10:04:53

Tenuous - Unfortunately, because of the short half-life of Effexor XR, you need to take it twice a day. Taking it once a day may put you at risk of serotonin withdrawl syndrome.

Unfortunately sleep disturbance is fairly common with SSRIs, but many times it will fade after long term use of Effexor. The trazodone is a relatively safe sleeping med.

Hope this helps - Cam
