I've been on 150mg. of Effexor for 3 years. And I sleep a lot on this dose! At least 4 hours during daytime hours. 3 hours in the morning, and then an hour later in the day.

My pdoc upped me to 225 mg. yesterday, and today all I wanted to do was SLEEP. And when I was awake, I was lethargic and apathetic. I feel a little more clear headed at the moment, but I really don't want to move.
I am already dealing with a weight problem, and this isn't going to help!

I am thinking of just taking my 150mg. dose tonight, so I can take care of my kid's, tomorrow. :/

My daily sleeping already embarrasses me. My husband and kid's must think I am a lazy loser.

I don't know if I'm going to be able to stay on the higher dose. Or if will even make me feel better. I kind of feel like I'm in a fog right now.

Sorry for the ramble.
