Marc,
I really do think it is just med senstitivity. I have been tapering Effexor the last couple of days preparatory to going on imimpramine instead and already I feel a lot calmer. Even tired in a bone deep way, like I've been supercharged for months, and now my body really needs to rest up and compensate for all the hyper-ness brought on by the SSRIs and SNRIs.
I wonder if your inability to sleep is from the Effexor. When I tried going from 37.5 to 75mg, I couldn't sleep either. And I ground my teeth all night. I don't know that the Lamictal would help this. Are you going to lower the Effexor dose more?
