> Sarah, whether this goes away or not may be a function of the person's physiology. I can't speak for anyone but myself and it has not gone away for me and I am down from 225 to 75 mg XR per day. My doctor gave me a minor stimulant that helps me to wake up during the day. IsoM has another good thought about sleep in general. I need at least seven hours per night or the Effexor effects seem exaggerated.
Cheers
JannbeauSarah, before you ever took meds, were you a heavy sleeper or long sleeper? I really wish I could do without the long hours of sleep I need but I find if I don't give myself lots of sleep, I go downhill. I've always seemed to need lots of sleep.
