In reply to Taking Effexor on time, posted by Pixel on September 11, 2005, at 4:00:50
My son is on Effexor XR 375 mgs so he only has to take it once a day (usually between 9am and 12md). However if he forgets and say it gets to 6pm he is REALLY uncomfortable (all other probs aside) and realises he has forgotton (he is so uncomfortable that he rarely forgets it now!). I know the half-life for Effexor is short. Don't know anything about the plain effexor version.
my guess is that it probably has an even shorter half life (I remember reading posts ages ago and the same thing was happening to someone else).
Bottom line take the effexor as close to the same time each day!
Hope this helps, others on this board will know more (my experience is only observation and listening!)
all the best
