OH my gosh! I just started Effexor about 3 weeks ago and have had horrible horrible sleep problems. I haven't had a good night's sleep for as long as I've been on this. In the beginning, when I was on 37.5 mg, I would fall asleep ok, but wake up around 2:00 or 3:00, sometimes 4:00 and , like you, just find myself WIDE AWAKE. That subsided after a bit but now that I've gone up to 75 mg, it's especially hard for me to get to sleep and have layed awake , like last night, for 2 or more hours trying to sleep. It's terrible. You're not alone. My doctor was giving me Neurontin for anxiety and suggested that I take it for sleep as it makes a lot of people sleepy. It has helped a little but that seems to be wearing off. Let me know if you find anything that puts you to sleep, ok? I could use the info too. I'm soooooooo tired during the day.
