Effexor for chronic fatigue pain

Posted by Steph on April 19, 2001, at 13:49:48

I have been on Effexor for 4 days for chronic fatigue and pain. Over the past year I have been tested for autoimmune diseases, Lymes disease, etc. With nothing showing up, my neurologist decided to put me on Effexor. He did this to help me get rid of the fatigue and muscle/joint pain. I have had the usual side effects of fatigue, dry mouth, and decreased appetite. I am not sure if this is the drug for me. I don't feel like I am a depressed person. I'm generally very happy with my life and occassionally get stressed out, but I don't feel it is anything unusual. I have little knowledge about depression or anxiety. Is it possible to be depressed or anxious without really realizing it? Is this the right medication for me? The more I read about it, the more I question its usefullness for me. Any thoughts about this or similar experiences would be helpful.
