    I’m currently weaning off effexor and onto Lexapro because the effexor
    made me feel over stimulated and gave me sweats. Another big drawback of
    effexor for me is the nasty withdrawal symptoms. It is known to be the
    worst for that. Having said all that, each person reacts differently to
    each drug, so maybe the one that over stimulates me will just be non
    drowsy for you. Also, I know the drowsy effect can go away with time for
    most people. Did you give it a long enough try? I wish you luck.
