> > I am taking effexor and paxil. I was also taking risperdal and discontinued it over a week ago. Now I am having problems sleeping. I wake up about 10 times a night. I've had to take an ativan a few times to sleep. I was taking 2-3 effexors and I can take either dose. So, maybe taking 2 instead of 3 when I get up would be better. Does the sleep problem go away is what I wonder. I really don't want to stop taking the effexor because it's helped my mood a lot.

R.Anne, I agree with James...I take Effexor-XR in the morning (all at once), and it still makes me stay awake at night...the best remedy has been to take Seroquel at bedtime (then I sleep marvelously and feel wonderful when I wake up!).--Cindy W
