> Dr. Bob is going to re-direct me again to 'Alternative' for mentioning this on the perscription board, BUT since this is where you posted your question for suggestions, this is where i will respond. (It DOES fit BOTH boards)

> Effexor was awful for me in the way you describe, Jhall131. LRT by Twinlabs/Alvita saved my sleep-depraved soul also when i was on Wellbutrin, and again as the natural insomniac that i have been All My Life. It is stronger than the multitude of meds that have been prescribed for me. It is preferable to me because it leaves no after-or-side effects that i refused to tolerate. Warm LRT worked for me very quickly (i found i needed to sip while in bed, reading), with my soup-bowl sized teacup; granted. With a little raw milk, sometimes. In the morning awoke alert and refreshed. In a feeling of 'wholeness' that no RXs had ever offered. And i am a VERY tough nut to crack.
