Need Help With Meds!!!

Posted by Sinnielou on June 22, 2004, at 14:40:22

Hi all,
I am currently not working and i take 150 mg of effexor in the morning, I take another 37.5 mg in the late afternoon and 30 mg of remeron before bed. Well I just found out I got a job and it's night shift 10 pm to 6 am any suggestions on how to switch my meds around and what should I do when I have a day off??
I could really use some help on this.....
Thanks Shannon

I would guess that you should keep taking the Remeron before you actually go to bed since it can cause drowsiness.

The 2 Effexor doses could probably be taken at whatever the most convenient times are as long as you spread out the doses by enough time.

Are you taking XR? It's supposed to last 24 hours, so it really shouldn't matter when you take it. I take my Effexor & Remeron at midnight. Will you be working on a permanent graveyard shift?

Cheers,

Yep I'm on the xr and it looks like it's permanent grave yard. I just hate the thought of screwing around with my meds. So I'll try when I start work to take the remeron when I get home from grave yard and take the effexor when I get up before work and see how that goes.
Thanks for the responce!!
