Effexor had that same affect on me -- I am a sleeper anyway, can easily sleep for 10 hours at night and take a 4 hour nap during the day. But with effexor it was worse. My pdoc prescribed Provigil/Modafinil and that helped a little, but eventually we took me off Effexor. We did it nice and slow (about a month) and towards the end introduced Prozac and then stopped that as well. I still do the Provigil and it helps with the excessive sleepiness.
