In reply to Effexor and EXHAUSTION!!! I'm so tired!!!, posted by JenJenJen on October 31, 2005, at 15:50:43
Hi there!
When I was taking Effexor alone, I found it very activating. It was so activating I had to add a TCA (doxepin) so I could sleep soundly through the night. At that time I was taking 150mg and I found that the best thing for me was to take it at NOON every day. I agree with tecknohed, you might want to step it up to 225mg and see if you have less fatigue. I believe that 150mg is considered the lowest therapeutic dosage.
Good luck!
p.s. - I'm going on my 2nd year of Effexor and have had very good results with it. I also take clonazepam for anxiety.
