That's interesting about the sleep problem. I was on Paxil for about 4 weeks and once my dosage was increased from 10mg to 20mg, I pretty much couldn't sleep at all for 2 weeks.
Then I went to the doctor and he switched me from Paxil to Effexor. On about Friday night, I started sleeping good again, "out of the blue". I took 20mg Paxil on Friday, 20mg Paxil on Saturday, nothing on Sunday, nothing on Monday, and then on Tuesday I took my first 37.5 Effexor, and again 37.5 Effexor again today.
So I'm really just getting onto Effexor, but I will let you know how things go.
The last 2 nights I've been SO tired and slept more than 8 hours which is good for me, but I've also been REALLY tired during the day, waking up feeling not refreshed (which is another kind of insomnia) and I've felt more depressed.
I don't know if it's because of all the medication switching or not. But I will post again once the Effexor starts kicking in more and let you know!
