What time

If you are on Effexor, what time of day do you take it.  I'm on 150mg and taking it before bed at 2am(sometimes with a xanax).  I'm wondering if it would work better If I take it when I wake up.  How long does it last?  When does it start working?

It is better to take 150mg as two divided dose of 75mg, once in the morning and once in the evening. When you reduce to one tablet per day take this in the morning with food.

Take it after you wake up, with food. At night, it can interfere with sleep.
