Effexor and Energy Levels

Posted by Joelw on March 4, 2002, at 21:11:25

Hi. I'm currently on 75mg of Effexor a day and I am finding it helps me quite well with my depression, but there is one problem. My energy levels have dipped to almost 0. I don't want to get up, I don't want to goto school, and I can barly keep my eyes open. I could sleep for 2 days straight and it wouldn't help. I have tried 8 hours sleep for a week, no good. 10 hours, no good. I even got 13 hours of sleep for 2 days in a row with no help. I'm finding that over the past week I am fed up and have been taking stimulants to just survive the day. I am going to see my doc this week and tell him ONCE AGAIN about how this side effect (is it one?) is ruining my life.

If anyone here has suffered this please tell me what you did to combat it.

Oh and P.S. I switched from paxil about 6-7 months ago on which I had no energy problems.
