I take 225 mg. Effexor XR. I used to take it in two doses, now I take it all in the morning and am sleeping better. I used to find myself staying up and usually here on Psycho-Babble until midnight to 4;00 am on work nights. Lack of sleep is not good for depression or lack of attention and general forgetfulness! I would also suggest trying 50 mg. of Benadryl at bedtime. Most of the over the counter sleep aids contain the same active ingredient. The cheapest generic will do. I haven't had to rely on the Benadryl much since switching my dosing schedule.
Best of luck to you. I hope the Sandman visits you again real soon!
