I've been on Effexor for 5 weeks now and I'm happy to say the fog is starting to lift a little, yesterday I had my first good day in a long time. However, I am finding my lack of energy troubling.
I started taking Effexor at 6pm but it made my insomnia worse than ever! I switched to 2pm and my sleeping is definitely improving, I can actually fall asleep now and when I wake up in the middle of the night I can fall back asleep again no problem, this is a huge improvement for me. The problem is, I get tired much earlier, anytime around 4-5 pm I start feeling sleepy, by 8pm I'm completely exhausted and can't wait to crawl into bed. I'm afraid to move my meds up any earlier for fear I'll fall asleep at my desk (I'm having enough problems at work).
Does anyone have any suggestions?
