Hi,
Were you taking anything else at the same time as Venlafaxine? Certain herbs and nutritional supplements such as 5-HTP or those that act as MAOIs (e.g. St. John's Wort, Rhodiola) should not be taken at the same time.
Benzodiazepines may help your symptoms of \"extreme wakefulness\" in the short-term or you could use more natural/safer alternatives such as niacinamide (vitamin B3), inositol (another B vitamin), the amino acids l-ornithine and l-theanine, and herbs like valerian, passiflora etc.
