> I am always pretty peppy at work. Sometimes I use up all my energy there and don't have any left for my family. I come home and read the paper in my bed, and often it is very hard to get up and do anything else. I wish I could just lay around and read or rest for a few hours.
> What meds have you tried? Are you saying your current dose of effexor isn't working, or were you feeling like isolating yourself in the past and are better now?Renee, I have that same "peppiness" I think at work, and use up all my energy there, and when I get home, it's all I can do to feed my pets (which takes hours, due to OCD) and call a friend, answer email, then read until I crash. The current Effexor-XR (300) helps but I think I need to exercise more. I try to talk to people at work, but mostly have acquaintances, only a few friends there, and we don't really socialize outside of work. I live in a very isolated location so work is the only time I see people.--Cindy W
