Can taking Effexor at a different time alleviate side effects for some?
I was taking Effexor XR at around 6 pm for about six weeks. The last side effect, and probably the only one that has disturbed me, is sleeping well. I hadn't for the last week and so my psychiatrist suggested to switch taking Effexor XR in the daytime.
In order to change my evening to day time, she recommended to change the time slowly. For example, I was to switch from 6 pm to 2pm for a day and then move to 9 am and then around 7 am would be the end result.
Well, after moving to 2 pm on the first try, I slept well and had plenty of energy so I tried it the next day to see if it was a fluke and so far it has improved my outcomes to what I have been looking for. For now, I am sticking with 2 pm until either I return to not sleeping well or something else comes up.
So has anyone tried to change the time of day you take Effexor in order to alleviate side-effects?
