I take 75 mg of Effexor XR for anxiety/depression. I take 5 mg of Ambien when needed to sleep. This problem with sleeping is strange to me. Before Effexor, I was taking Remeron. Talk about a sleep-inducing drug. I never slept so soundly in my life. However, it did keep me kinda dopey during the day. The offset for that was Ritalin. Then my ins. co. decided not to cover Ritalin for that use. It is very expensive, so I switched to Effexor. If I take the Ambien when I wake, and know I'm going to remain awake, I sleep soundly. I guess I should just get off my high horse and stop trying to avoid taking the Ambien. Then I can cross this problem off the list. Now, for the sexual side-effects...
