maybe I'm manic but now I am thinking about taking the Effexor tonight. Earlier, I just wanted to see how I would feel if I didn't take it tonight. I just read a post and wonder if I should take it UUUGHHHHHHH
Please, any advice wouold be helpful-I know we aren't docs-just want opinions.
Please bear with me I am starting back on this stuff for a little over a week now.
TYVM

I got on much better with Effexor when I took it first thing in the morning.. I would take it at 7:30am when my husband got up... stopped me from being awake half the night..
might be worth trying

Thanks for your input:-)
When I have been on Effexor-XR in the past, I always took it in the morning, but I was manic when I went to sleep, causing me to take more of the Seroquel and/or Klonopin-which I didn't like. Last week, I started taking the Effexor-XR at night and even though it hasn't FULLY kicked back in-I am sleeping better, but it could also be because I also went back on Lamictal after being of of that since March 2002.
It's trial and error so it seems.
Don't ya think?
I am going to continue taking it at night, and see if it continues to work better than taking it in the morning.
Do you take any other meds? or did I already ask you?
Thanks Nikki for your reply:-)
All the best,
Kristen
