In reply to How can i counteract Effexor side effects?, posted by Anna Laura on November 14, 2001, at 4:29:31
When did you start on Reboxetine? Maybe it needs more time to kick in or you need a larger dose of it to counteract your tiredness. Otherwise, Wellbutrin might be an option to add to Effexor to counteract the tiredness.
If you would like to try an herb first, I take Ginkgo Biloba 120 mg twice a day (240 total). That's the amount recommended to take with antidepressants to counteract sex related side effects but it might also give more energy. If you have any type of bleeding problem, check with your doctor first since Ginkgo can act as an anticoagulant.
> I'm taking Effexor (300 mg,) plus reboxetine: feeling better but i sweat profusely plus i'm always fatigued.
> I started Effexor the last week of July of the current year: i guess the side effects are not transient otherwise they'd be gone by now. Does anybody know about other drugs or vitamin/herbal supplementsthat could reduce these unpleasant side effects?
