I went on Effexor in November last year after having a horrible time dealing with losing my mom.  I was working in house then and I can't tell you how many times I dozed off at work.  Curiously, when I mentioned to a co worker that the dr. had put me on this, her response was "oh yeah, I tried that.  It didn't work.  I'm on Zoloft."  Another one had tried them all and yet another was on the highest dose they offer of Effexor.  It was like a scary little medicated club.

I stopped working in-house at the beginning of December and was only working part time waiting a for a new full time job that was scheduled to start in January.  I think I slept through December.  Those things were awful!  I wasn't any less depressed, but I didn't care because I was sleeping so much.  Threw them away in January and have never regretted it.

Way off the original topic, but your message struck a huge chord with me.

And no, I don't drink at work.  I get too sleepy/goofy and hungry.  I want to eat everything crunchy in the world when I'm drinking, so I rarely drink and never when I'm working.
