I experienced something similar to this, starting with 10mg and going up to 30mg at one point. Not only was I completely sapped of energy, I felt the most extreme depression I've ever felt. Now I'm down to 10mg again and feel terrific, so it may be a matter of finding the right dose.
Also, my psychologist pointed out an interesting possibility...if the drug causes more loneliness, it could be that it's not working properly. Or it COULD be getting me more in touch with buried feelings, thus motivating improvement.
Good luck!

The anxiety has lessened but I feel more depressed. Has anyone else had that effect? I'm not sure if it's just me because I am still fighting the idea of having to take meds, or if I should try something else. Thanks for your help.
