I take 150mg Effexor XR in the early morning. I also suffer from a disrupted sleep pattern (sleeping and waking several times a night). When I mentioned it to my psychiatrist she said that taking it in the morning is the best as far as sleep is concerned. I occasionally take half a Stilnox at bedtime and this gives me a better night's sleep.
Effexor XR has been such a great help to me that I'm happy to live with some insomnia. My psychiatrist suggested I take it for a year to avoid any relapse into depression.
The other thing is that I found that I had quite a few side effects early on but these went away after about two to three months.
