I was wondering when you all take yours? Is it always with/after food? Please chime in, it will help me. Thanks All!!! -Kimbo

Some days I am more tired than others, so I'm thinking of possibly moving it to evenings, in case it is causing the tiredness. But going to get my thyroid and iron checked out first. -------------------- "Out of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. .....

If I suspect my Efexor XR is making me sleepy, would it actually make any difference what time I take it, since it is, in any case an Extended Release formulation, so presumably releases in stages over 24 hours? Would anyone know? -------------------- "Out of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. .....

Junior Member Group: Junior Member Posts: 90 Joined: 11-August 08 From: Canada Member No.: 27,811	I just started taking it today - but after reading everything - I decided to take it in the morning. I like my sleep and would prefer nothing disturbed my sleep. I'll see how it goes - but I imagine that it's the best time for me. (I'm always awake in the morning and evenings are often busy or unpredictable...)
