I'm on Effexor - XR and it didn't make me sleepy. I did get other side effects when I first went on it, mainly nasty headaches, but they went away after a couple of weeks.

Give yourself time to adjust to the med & if it continues to make you sleepy, try taking at night instead of in the morning. That's what I do with my risperidone.
