In reply to Sleepy? - Re: Switching from Paxil to Effexor XR, posted by roobie on June 1, 2004, at 7:54:26
I have been on Effexor XR for several years (currently 300mg). My psy indicated to me when I started taking it that it should help with my energy level (motivation) a little. Last year I started taking Provigil because I have absolutely ZERO energy. It's more like I never get enough sleep, no matter what. (I always get my minimum 8 hours, prefer 10-12). If I sit still for more than five minutes I am also out for several hours. I have been through two sleep studies, but have always wondered if it wasn't the Effexor affecting my sleep/energy levels. I also have ZERO motivation to do anything, even when my depression is alleviated.
