I am so confused on wether the Effexor 225mg I take is even working since I eat and drink so many things that effect how I feel and how my main concern is if the Effexor will still work since I am a 3 cup a day coffee drinker. My serotonin level is I assume also effected by food drink I eat.
My day In order
Morning: coffee, water, energy drink, food, THEN MY EFFEXOR 225MG.
3 hours later: I can pepsi, snack, water
Lunchtime : food, coffee, water, vitamins, ginseng
3 hours later: 1 candiet soda
After work : 2 cups coffee, 1 can diet soda, dinner,

Does it feel like you can't tell if it's working or not?

Never heard of food or drink affecting an AD. Coffee and caffeine can make you hyper but else do you eat? Fondly, Phillipa

I drink tons of coffee every day. Haven't noticed it not working. But, I take the Effexor at night before bed so I'm not sick to my stomach.

Does taking Effexor before bed effect your sleep at all I heard it does. If not I was thinking about trying that instead of in the morning I just get so foggy and poopy mid day time.

It didn't matter what time of day I took the dose, I didn't sleep well. I took Ambien for a LONG time--couple of yrs. I quit because of all the weirdness I started having. It seemed to have "trained" me to sleep and I do fine without it now.
