Did you feel this way in the mornings before effexor? Mornings were usually the worst time for my anxiety regardless of what meds I was taking. Sleeplessness would also seem to a good suspect for feeling that way.
Hope it gets better soon.

I wasn't a good sleeper before the Efexor. I'd often toss and turn for a few hours, but eventually go to sleep around 3am-4am. Sometimes I'd go to sleep quickly, but wake up around 1.30am and couldn't get back to sleep. The mind simply wouldn't shut off.
Since the Efexor, I've been really restless until around 5am. I might then doze off for an hour or so and then wake again, not feeling the slightest bit tired. I'm going all day and not feeling tired at all. It's like suddenly I only need an hours sleep
As for the anxiety in the morning, it was a little better today. Hopefully it will settle down. I was told I'll get worse before I get better, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Thanks for you input,
Rose.
