> I've been on this higher dose of effexor xr now for about 5 weeks, I think, and now I am noticing some new annoying effects.
James here....
How high are you (effexor dose) ? I get the effects you mention at 400 to 500 mgs, but I am not a good example because I have always been able to take massive doses of anything with few problems. If the effexor is doing some good, how about dropping the dose to a level you can deal with and adding another med to help with the sleeping problem. Remeron might be a good choice,
at 15 mgs it will give you good sleep (it does with me) and this combo is considered a big gun for mood problems. Talk to your doc !j
