> >I just started effexor xr and am wondring when tired feeling goes away- This is my 3rd day- I do feel much less anxiety and felt it from first day-
> I do feel cognitively slower and I like to feel sharp when I am at work- how does this compare to prozac? Does it increase serotonin levels? I want to make sure it is an antidepressant and not just anxiety reducer-I had trouble with prozac, because too much anxiety-After many tries, I ended up on St.John's wart- It helped, but gastro feels I am depressed and recommended effexor xr- I've had signicant irritable bowel and menopause problemsSeveral people have written that they feel tired, on Effexor-XR. After five months on it, I have noticed that my sleep is not quite right. I never remember my dreams and wake up a LOT and can't go back to sleep, on Effexor. Will ask my pdoc about this, next visit, since I slept great on Serzone and other AD's.
