NikkiT,
We all react differently to meds, but I would not
take Effexor again for love nor money. That is
just my personal experience, not a outright condem-
nation of the med.Sleep has always been a problem, right now I crave
too much of it. Klonopin has been my med of choice
to help me fall asleep and sleep thru the night. 2
hours is not enough to enable you to get thru your
day. You will be more vulnerable to your depression
and less able to handle stress. It is also unsafe
when you engage in activities such as driving a
car.I'm glad you had a relaxing reprieve from work and
that you and your husband are closer.
I've been on leave since mid Feb and am dreading
going back. Most employers do not understand our
illness unless they've been there themselves.Good luck with the doc.
