It'a been 3 weeks on Effexor XR now and I am STILL not sleeping well...argg...every night I wake up between 1am and 3am. I have tried taking "Simply Sleep" 50mg and it does help but I still wake up in the night a couple of times, and I have a hangover the next day...it sux. PLUS I have ZERO sex drive left. My poor husband, I just moved in after doing a long distance relationship for 3 years...this is driving me crazy! I don't want to take a whole wack of pills. The Effexor is making me feel better, I am coping with all the stresses that life is throwing me but I just feel so stuck...ne sleep, no sex and when we do have sex it's only mediocre for me...this is NOT normal, we usually have a great sex life...
Is it time to try something new? How long should I try to bear with these side effects? I feel a bit defeated. I am trying to get better but I don't want to do it at the expense of my relationship...help!
