I currently take 300 mg of effexor xr, in the ams, and 300 mg. of serzone, at around 6 pm. It seems to be a good recipe for me.
I had taken 375 effexor/225 serzone for a long while, but still felt my nervous system was overstimulated. So, I suggested trying the current balance, and my pdoc approved. It has really been an improvement.
Initially, the increase in serzone made me sleepy, but I have adjusted. Now, about 30 minutes after dosing, I do feel very tired, but I perk up again about 30-45 minutes after that. Then, I am not feeling sedated (as I had with trazodone), but I can get a good night's sleep. I take it at 6 pm because any later and it hasn't kicked in sufficiently for sleep, and doesn't wear off sufficiently by morning. This dosing time seems to work well for me.
