It was nice to hear your message, so many of the messages sound pretty doom and gloom. I have no signs of depression but have suffered from uncontrollable fatigue and migrane headaches (4-5 a week) for about three years now. My doctor has me on Celexa which has almost completly eliminated the headaches but has not phased the fatigue. I am in the process of slowing down the celexa intake so that I can start on Effexor. It seems strange to be taking these meds that are to be for depression as I am very happy, content, calm and have a great life except for this horrible fatigue. Since the fatigue ruins my days I guess I'm willing to try about any thing.
> I started taking Effexor 6 weeks ago. Dosage of 150 mg daily. I have never felt so normal in a long time. Energy level great, mood stable and happy. No more staying in bed for 3 days at a time and not knowing why I was so sad. Had tried zoloft for a couple of years and was previously on celexa. Could not notice any difference on these two drugs; but, when my physician gave me samples of Effexor to try, it was almost immediate relief and feeling of stability. Would recommend to anyone.
