Re: Long time user of Effexor

Lately, I have been taking 150 mg of Effexor in the morning and then another 75 mg at noon. Even though I feel lethargic, I cannot go to sleep without the 7.5 mg of Remeron. I am no longer a "morning person". I sleep 10+ hours sometimes. I don't like that.

I guess I keep going back to the idea of taking Wellbutrin.

I do love what Effexor does for me with social, generalized anxiety and the panic attacks. I also like that I can "sit" with my feelings no matter how painful. I don't self mutilate or cut BUT I do other self destructive things, especially in relationships with others. The Effexor slows my thinking down so I can focus on my behavior.

I don't like to drink on Effexor (unlike the Paxil!). The next day, I feel headachy and hung over. Not good.

Anyway, getting off the Paxil and trying something different has worked so far for me. -TinMan
