I had trouble sleeping on Effexor XR at 37.5mg. It would make me drowsy during the day and then I'd sleep 2 hours at night, during the 1st week. Then things got better. Now I've been at 75mg a day for a couple of weeks and I wake up a few times per night whereas I never do that when I don't take meds. During the day I feel VERY sleepy at times, although the feeling does not last long, fortunately.
So it is different for everyone. Effexor XR affects my sleep big time, even at small doses. It takes several weeks for my sleep pattern to get back to normal, so I am afraid that at higher doses I may be inconvenienced even more... we'll see.
