> > Hi, I have just started taking effexor xr and I have only been on it for 3 days. I had been suffering from mild depression and sleeplessness. My dr. has also given me tryodozone for sleeping at night. it really helps and I wake up feeling refreshed after sleep. I don't have much of an appetite which to me feels good because I need to loose some weight. The only concern that I have is that I get severely tired during the day when taking the effexor xr the dr. said he wants me to take it during the day so that it will give me energy, but i haven't experienced that yet. I know it's only been 3 days, but am worried that I don't want to feel this exhausted during the day while taking it. Did anyone else experience this and if so how long before it went away?

> It goes away! But not for 5 weeks with me. Don't worry about it, just take a nap or relax more and let it pass with time. It will pass once you adjust.Tanya, I agree with RG...the fatigue passes. After about three weeks, I started feeling like I had much more energy. Hope it works out for you!--Cindy W
