Hi,
I am currently weaning off Effexor (down to 37.5 mg) , and will be off for good by next week. It was relatively painless with the exception of some nausea and vomitting. Two weeks ago, I started Lexapro, 10 mg, and have experienced severe insomnia these past four nights. My nighttime cocktail consists of 30 mg remeron and 25 mg seroquel which has worked quite well these past five months but now I don't know what to do. Could the insomnia be caused by the discontinuation of the Effexor or is it due to the Lexapro? If it is the Effexor, will it subside once I am off a few weeks? I am taking both in the am so I think the timing is right. I have a call into my doc and am hoping he calls before tonight....I need to be knocked out cold. Any advice would be helpful.
Thanks,
Nicole
