> although it can be psychologically addicting ( I had a hard time going to sleep without it, convinced that I couldn't but I got over it)

i take remeron or ambien to sleep at night (if you want to be tired, take remeron, that makes you feel like you can't keep your eyes open), i never had problems falling asleep really (unless i was nervous about something)... but id wake up a few times at night... w/ the effexor if i dont take something to sleep im having super crazy dreams all night, to the point where i can remember if i dreamt it or if it was real, i had to call a friend today and ask him if something had happened, or if i dreamt it... i take the xanax more during the day, sometimes ill take 2 at once sometimes 3, sometimes just 1.. depends on what i feel like... i get kind of spacy on the effexor, but i want to stick it out w/ that since (despite the side effects and withdrawl) ive read that it is a pretty good AD... but yeah, the xanax is a bit psychologically addictive... i know that i make sure to carry it w/ me to work because at some point i know i am going to take it... i couldnt ever imagine myself on a regimine of xanax but here i am... of course before i started the AD's i was too busy being completely depressed at work to think about anything... so im happier now, than i was before...

thanks for the input, somehow its comforting to know that there are other people w/ similar situations
