I have been taking 75 mg of Effexor XR for over a year now. My doctor recently (about a week ago) started me on 25 mg of Lopressor for HBP. Since starting the Lopressor, I have been suffering from insomnia and my sleep schedule is really messed up. Is it safe to take Effexor XR and Lopressor at the same time? Please someone help me with some answers.

I also take Effexor XR and I used to have trouble sleeping. I was taking it in the evening and my Dr. told me to start taking it in the morning and that really seemed to help with my sleeping problems. She also said if I still have a little bit of trouble falling asleep to take a Tylenol PM. Hope this helps you I know how hard it is to have a crazy sleep schedule.
