I was wondering if anyone has had a hard time getting a full night's sleep with effexor. I am at 150mg and just feel wide awake by 3 or 4 in the a.m.-then I'm tired during the day at work.
I've also gotten increasingly nervous reading the posts about the ugly withdrawals. I realize everyone's body is different and there's no way to know how you're going to be effected, but I am considering getting pregnant in the next 6 months or so and I worry what will happen when I have to stop effexor and how long it would take to get back to a normal level afterwards. I would consider another anti-depressant, but I am moving out of state in just a couple of days and won't be able to see a new dr. out of state knowing they won't qualify as a preferred provider under my current insurance. With a new move and my spouse traveling all summer I am already dealing with so much alone, that going off effexor after three months just seems like a bad idea.
Anyway, sorry to ramble here. Any ideas for sleeping that is safe to take with effexor? Thanks for your thoughts out there:)
