I too had problems staying asleep at night when I started Effexor, and I was only taking 37.5 mg once a day. When my dose was increased to 75 mg, it became even worse. As it seemed to be helping depression-wise I added 10mg Elavil at bedtime and sleep quite well now. It does take a week or two not to feel groggy in the AM with Elavil. It seems now that the Effexor makes me sleepy by afternoon, a problem I've never experienced. It must have something to do with when and how the extended release version works.
