> I've been on Effexor for about a month and a half now and I feel a little better, however I cannot sleep. The doc put me on Trazodone to help sleep, which it does, but that's about it. I sleep, but I am ridiculously exhausted all day. This is sooo frustrating. I also have a permanent headache. It's more like a pressure headache. Does anyone else have these symptoms? Any advice?
> What time of day do you take your meds? I have found that if I take them at night I am up at 4am sharp every day. If I take them in the morning I am fine...really fine. At the moment I am on a super high dossage and have to take it morning and evening...so I know I will wake up way too early. Advise? Go to bed early, try to relax about being awake..just lie in bed and rest. Your body needs the rest even if your mind is already up and going. Be good to yourself. Lots of luck!!
