I also found Effexor to be very sedating. I tried the Effexor/Wellbutrin combo. I must be unusual in that Wellbutrin did nothing to me either good or bad. I may as well have been taking Pez. However, I've heard many encouraging success stories with this augmentation strategy, so I would say it's worth trying, and could well be what you are looking for.> Hope this message gets through this time.
