>Effexor would also sedate me during the daytime, particularly right after taking it, but it also caused the worst insomnia I have experienced other than on MAOIs. However, I mostly took the regular version twice a day. If I had taken the XR version at bedtime, it might have made me sleepy enough for a long enough period of time to cut down on the insomnia. The regular version taken at bedtime would knock me out for a few hours, but then I would be wide awake.
