When does everyone take their venlafaxine? I take it in the morning but am thinking it might be better to take at night ? And thoughts ??

When do you take yours and have you tried both ?

    I take my XR venlafaxine in the morning and my mirtazapine at night to aid sleep. Both work very well for me.

    HI, it is usually taken in the morning, once a day.  Modified release means it does not all become active in the stomach. Set up to release throughout the 24 hours.
