Serotonin Releasers and Reuptake Inhibitors (Kind of problem)

Hi, I have a minor problem with drugs that act as an SRI or Releaser. I know about the yawns, but if I'm chilling and testing out certain chemicals, they send me to sleep.

I don't even feel it coming. I'll be doing something like watching TV or listening to some music then the next thing I know, 3-4 hours have passed and I've missed everything.

i.e Good quality MDMA doesn't stimulate me at all. I end up just wanting to cuddle up to someone/something and end up sleeping :D

Even if the chemical also acts as an NDRI I still fall to sleep. I feel really good and stimulated as the chemical should make you feel but then out of nowhere the sleep arrives.

If I'm out in a club/rave/house party I don't have this problem. I generally have a good time and enjoy myself. It only happens if I'm chilling alone or with just a few people listening to music etc...

Is this a common problem (if you could really call it a problem)? Does this happen to a lot of people? Is there anything I can do?

I've tried lower doses which would be the obvious answer but then I either don't feel the effects and that means wasting a certain amount or I still end up sleeping. Or I could just stop taking them, but I just love how a massive amount of Serotonin building up in your brain feels.
 
not really sure about the NDRI but with SSRI's it is pretty common knowledge that they dramatically reduce the effectivness of MDMA. Years ago when I was first put on my first SSRi (paxil) (which i do believe my major depression was brought on by my extensive drug use) I had no idea at that time that it would affect my mdma usage at all. I would try to continue to roll but nothing at all. At first I was thinking i was just getting bunk pills, but every one else around me would be rolling balls and no matter how many i took, i would never feel anything whatsoever. It was horrible. A whole lot of just wasted $$$. You are just going to have to weigh out the benefits of either of the 2 and either stop one or the other.
 
The thing is, I really enjoy the effects that Serotonin releasing chemicals give. I can feel the effects and I'm having a good time but it's like I just get too chilled then before I know it I've gone to sleep. If I have friends around they wake me up and as long as I'm active then I'm all good. It's just when I sit down. I don't even feel the sleep coming. It just comes on with a click of the finger.

It's not really a bad side effect in the way that it would make me stop taking them, it's just annoying when I end up sleeping right through the peak then wake up as it's tailing off.
