I too couldn't sleep on Effexor and I did take miy meds first thing in the am. I hope that works for you, it was still too stimulating a drug for me. I would fall asleep and wake up every night between 3 and 4am like clock work. It was so frustrating for me. I also tossed and turned all night. I took Benadryl for about a month and then decided that between the insomnia and the total lack of sex drive it just wasn't working. I have recently switched to Lexapro, 10mg and I am sleeping like a baby with no additional meds. I still feel anxious and testy though as it has only been a week on the Lexapro. I'm hear that it takes a while to kick in so I'm waiting it out. So far no SE's for me on this one though (whew). Good luck.
