Hi everyone!
I just started on the Effexor XR over the weekend and have experienced minor nausea and some fairly strong feelings of jitteriness. This I can deal with. The problem I am running into is the SLEEPINESS!!!! I can barely keep my eyes open for more than 2-3 hours at a time.
I spoke to my doctor and he has suggested taking the medication at night before bed but I fear the extended release will just continue to make me tired as I wake up. Anyone have experience with the sleepiness? Any idea how long this side effect lasts?Thanks so much.
