Thanks, I guess I hadn't looked at it that way. I suppose it is an addiction to the ADs since the weaning off is such a challenge. I guess maybe I don't want to use another drug as a crutch for weaning off another, only to still be addicted to something.
I've been using Scott's suggestion and have been dividing my 75mg EX Effexor into fourths and taken only a fourth at a time - so I'm now taking 3/4 of the capsule a day. By spreading it out over the day, I seem to be doing pretty well.
In addition to the Effexor causing some insomnia, I have pain from an SI joint that seems to be worse when I lay down to sleep for the night so some of my waking is from the pain and not being able to get into a comfortable position.
