Okay, I am on 37.5mg of Effexor XR, and I have been on for only a few days, and i have been napping everyday. I have been on Effexor before, but it was 4 years ago, and I don't remember how bad it was in the beginning, but i do remember napping a bit.
I really want this to work, but I am discouraged by this now. I have no nausea or dizziness. I have nappiness.
I am also on Trileptal {300mg twice a day-lowered from 1200mg because provigil made it stronger}, and I wonder if Effexor makes it stronger. My provigil is not helping with the naps, but I am on a low dose. I take as little as 50mg a day.
Could I take all the Trileptal at night? Wouold that ruin the modd stabilizing effects?
Please help!!! I really just want to be on 37.5mg and make that work for depression and anxiety. I am a mixed mood type who can't take high doses of serotonergic drugs.
