It's been affecting my sleep

[LorisA]

I've been on Effexor since January and I'm starting to find that no matter how much I sleep I still feel exhausted. I'm only on 75mg. But I could sleep 12 hours and still go through the whole day feeling like I only got 3. I tried just getting the regular 8 and that just feels worse. I'm walking around like a damn zombie. It's making it hard for me to get up for my early classes and actually get to them because for some reason my IBS is acting up again a long with it.

I'm on 75mg and I feel like that too most days. I take it in the morning but might try taking it at night because I get a lot of daytime tiredness. But then I'm also thinking it could make waking up in the morning difficult. Oh dear - trial and error I think. When do you take it?

I take mine in the morning as well because I was told it's supposed to wake you up! Ha. My doctor wants to put me on even higher and I'm worried that it might make it even WORSE, right?
