Hi!
Has anyone who eithet weaned off or inthe process of weaning off Effexor had any sleep problems?
Since I've started the reduction process, I can't sleep. Either I fall asleep for about 3 hours or I can't fall asleep at all (this has been happening at least 2 times a week).
Thanks!

@grandmar Oh, yes. It gets better for a while, then it starts again. When needed, I take 1-2 25mg Ben*dryls an hour, or less before bed. Kava kava and lemon balm are helpful, too.

I've used 3 mg. timed-release melatonin whenever I had that problem. Worked well for me.
