Do you feel generally calm on the Effexor? Are you less sensitive?

I think that Effexor has helped mainly with my mood and it would be difficult to tell you about the calming effects, since I also take Depakote. Yes, I am less sensitive, if you are referring to what people may say to me, to provoke me, or my anger reactions. I also am calmer, but I have to attribute that to the Depakote, as it is a mood stabilizer.
I notice that Effexor does help me sleep very well, Laurie. This is the one thing I am sure of.
The true test would be if I were only on Effexor and not the other medicine, but for my condition, which is Bipolar Disorder, it would be impossible for me to do this without medical supervision.
