Do you take any type of sleep med/benzo at night? I find without one I can't get to sleep at all and I will toss and turn for hours until I finally fall asleep. I am getting very good sleep on the Elavil/1 mg. Ativan combo. I am soon going to try just the Elavil alone. Changing my sleep cycles screws my mood up really bad. For instance I have been taking daily naps for the past week or so due to an upper respiratory infection (and antibiotics). Today for the first day I didn't take a nap and I feel very depressed and tearful. I also know that Lamictal is very activating for me and I can't sleep at all without a sleep med on it. Could it be that the Effexor is doing the same thing to you? Geez, I know what you mean about that waking up early, tossing and turning. Yuck, that's awful!
