R.Anne here: I do take Effexor XR and as soon as I get up-lately it could be 1pm. though, so maybe I ought to set a clock to get up and take it earlier. Thanks for all the replies. I didn't know that paxil can cause insomnia, too. I ended up taking a .5 ativan around 6 a.m. to get some sleep but I don't want to do that all the time. So, I will set the clock to take the effexor good and early-thanks all!
