With a combination of 20 mg ritalin er and 37.5mg effexor I had small bright spots of alertness followed by ever increasing need for daytime sleep as the week progressed until at the end of the week I was taking 3 or 4 40 min. naps. With just effexor I could sleep a total of 18 hours per day. With ritalin alone I need ever increasing amounts as periods of depression, exacerbated I believe by the drug, creep in. I lost two days essentially just napping trying to get off the stuff. I'm still looking for that sweet spot of a combination of meds that don't make me feel worse.
