I read somewhere hear that Anti-pschotics can help alleviate the nightmares associated with SSRIs and Effexor.

Does anyone know if this is true?

I get terrible dreams from Effexor and would really like to try something to stop them.

I'm thinking of trying Sulpiride at a low dose for anxiety. Will this do the job of stopping the nightmares?

Also I have found lately that I'm getting quite lethargic. All I seem to do is just lie down all the while. Is Sulpiride stimulating? Will it stop the boredom and increase my concentration?

I'm on 225mg Effexor, but its only helping me moderately.

Thanks in advance!

Old AP's & most atypical AP's feature H1 & 5-HT2A blockade, but you can get it in other drugs too. I take Remeron with Effexor, but other drugs that would be good are most of the TCA's especially Trimipramine, Doxepin, Amitriptyline & Nortriptyline. Any one of those at about 25mg will improve your sleep quality.

Cheers,
