Should Effexor be taken in the morning or at bedtime?

You can take it either time but most people take it in the morning (including me). It can sometimes cause insomnia which is obviously not a good thing at night time.

hi
i have been told when i was on this to tk it in the morning
you can call your docs office or your pharmacist for a more professional opinion but i do believe as was said most can cause insomnia
keep us posted on how you are doing and remember to give it time to kick in

I take EffexorXR in the morning with breakfast. I do not get fatigue from the medication.
