Back in January, I was put on Effexor XR to try to overcome anxiety, that had just entered my life. I too had horrible insomnia, to the point where I was completely exhausted.

Anyway, I found that the effexor did not initially help. What helped more than anything else, has been a small dosage of Zyprexa. Zyprexa at larger doses is used for schizoprehnia and so is labeled an anti-pyschotic. If this scares you, then you are like me.

I was very nervous about this. But, keep in mind that some docs prescribe this at small doses for obsessing and for sleeping. I would recommend you look into taking this drug until you've caught up on sleep. Essentially, it will slow your brain down at night. Once you fall asleep (which can be the hard part) it will keep you asleep. I first took it with a small dose of ambien to put me asleep.

Anyway, best of luck.
