Insomnia
I’ve been taking Effexor ER 150 mg for about 6 months it has worked amazing for my anxiety and depression. But I have the absolute worst insomnia. I have tried taking it in the morning, in the afternoon and night and every time I cannot sleep. It is to the point where I will be up at 4-5 AM if I don’t take trazodone. I ran out of my trazodone for 1 day and was up until 6 AM. My body doesn’t feel tiredness anymore.
It’s getting to the point where I’ve had to up the dose of the trazodone and now I feel like I need something different or stronger. Effexor is the one drug that has really improved my anxiety and depression. I have tried so many and this is a miracle. But I have had this type of insomnia where I am just never tired until I take a sleeping pill. Does anyone have any advice? Or has this happened to anyone else? Am I having a weird reaction to it?
