> I've been taking 75mg or effexor for 5 days now and I am so sleepy all the time. I sleep all night and then I want to sleep all day. Has anyone else been effected by this, if so will you please let me know, Thanks Terry
Hi Terry~
Effexor XR made me profoundly sleepy, I never got above 37.5mgs. I cd. only hang in there for a couple of wks. before my doc and I decided I simply was not shaking off the 'I want to sleep AT LEAST 20 hrs. a day' side-effect.
I do recommend that if you shd. decide to stop the Effexor, that you do so with a slow taper.
How long have you been taking the EF.? Did u start at a lower dose and titrate up?
