I'm glad to see you back and posting here. We do care about you. Give the meds a chance, okay. It can take time for them to get in to your system. I did well on Effexor, but had some problems with tiredness at times. If this med does'nt help there are many others to choose form. Hang in there.

Oh gloria, I am so sorry that you are feeling so low.  I have been on Effexor, and now on the generic form, but I am lucky and do not get side effects, but like you, do find sleeping difficult.

I have taken an overdose in the past, but I am glad I am still here.  I am 71 years of age, and depression has been with me for 20 years.  I struggle on.  

Keep posting here, because we listen, and care about you.

Take care
