Hi.

> Hmmmm... I never thought to even further spread it apart... I presumed the XR was extended throughout a 4-6 hour period, not longer...

I understand. The half-life of Effexor is 5-7 hours. That might work. I never really looked into how the XR version extends the time until the drug reaches its trough.

> I am afraid if I take it too close to bed, I will never go to sleep (Like tonight)

You'll never know unless you try. Understand that some of the side effects of Effexor are only temporary. Perhaps you will be able to tolerate dosing at breakfast and dinner.

I wish you the best.
