I was on effexor because of anxiety induced insomina. I did start sleeping after taking effexor but always had to have a glass of wine or two with dinner to get me tired enought to fall asleep so I am not sure effexor ever really helped my sleep. I recently went through 3 weeks of hell with a VERY difficult withdrawal from effexor. I got off of it mainly because of the very intense night sweats, waking me up at least 6 times a night. There were also other side effects that I did not like. I am considering Serzone because I have serious insomnia. Has anyone had trouble with night sweats on this medication? Also I am wondering if there is a Serzone "withdrawal syndrome" similar to effexor. I NEVER want to go through that again. It was horrible.
