Is there an Anti-D that does not interfere with sleep as much as Effexor XR??
THANKS!

Ask a psychiatrist or a pharmacist what anti-depressant has the least effect on sleep architecture.

its usually trial and error with antidepressants, a pharmacist would be more likely to know

All meds should be agreed with your sleep doctor in advance. It is the best way to ensure a safe regimen.

It's not just a case of a particular drug having an effect. If you happen to be taking different meds for a number of conditions, in some cases they may clash and effect sleep.

I have been taking Celexa for years.  It is prescribed by my Psychiatrist.  For me I would only go to a psychiatrist for depression and getting medications for depression. I would advise seeing a psychiatrist.

THANKS All!!

I've been on Effexor XR for a couple of years and on CPAP for 9 years.  Recently I retested with a new sleep doc and later followed up with their Nurse Practitioner who informed me that Effexor was not a friend of sleep.  The NP suggested Wellbutrin; haven't heard yet what the doc suggests...
