For a long time, I had been thinking that Effexor was helping me... and then my neurologist said that it might be part of why I was having migraines every other day, and he and my p-doc took me off of it... well, the depression did come back, but the fact that I got back enough motivation to... well, pretty much do *anything at all* ... kind of made it one step forward and one step back in the end.
I currently have just started taking Vivactil, after being off of all antidepressants (except Lamictal) for 2 months... so far i'm not liking the cognitive effects, my memory is a little screwed-up by it, but my abulia is not as avid as it was on Effexor...
