In reply to Quick sedation after taking EFFEXOR XR, posted by SteveS on March 8, 2002, at 7:03:14
No, I tend to feel sedated on Effexor XR too during the day. Then at night I can't sleep. I had given up on coffee before but now I need it to start the day (2 strong cups). Some days I don't feel it, some days it comes back. I'm on 75mg a day too.
When I started at 37.5mg a day, for the first week, I was so sedated during the day that I couldn't function. Then I had complete insomnia at night. My doc made me take my dose later in the day so I could get some work done and so I could sleep too. After a while, I went back to taking it in the morning.
So I'd say you're not alone. I never took benzos, so I can't compare the feeling.- sid
