Hi, no doubt it's driving you nuts, sorry to hear this!
From a medication view, Effexor helped keep me awake, and also kept me more motivated.
Some possibilities for you:-Try Effexor (unless you already have 'lately')
-Vitamins (especially the B's) may help.
-Maybe go back up to 100mg of Zoloft.
-Adding another AD to the Zoloft.
Try not to become *too* obsessive compulsive, or you may end up on Luvox..., but that might not be a bad idea...
I would talk to your doctor and tell him/her how you feel!!!
Hang in there, I feel for you.
Best wishes.> Okay I can't take this anymore! I have been so so tired for the past month and half. Well actually since March I don't ever feel like I've recovered and got my energy back. I feel like crap all the time. I can't bring myself to go work out and I want to sleep most all the time. I've been to the Dr. to get blood tested - everything was normal...he told me my symptoms sound psychological. I know that is what everyone thinks- it's all my head!! I just want to feel alive. I have been on Zoloft since June...my doses have flucuated between 50mg all the way up to 200mg because my psych said the higher dose would give me more energy but it didn't. I have been steady on 100mg but recently lowered it to 75mg. Zoloft has been awesome for my depression- I just can't wake up in the morning and this tiredness is bringing me down especially since the weather is changing now. I am not sure if it would be a good idea to try Prozac or another activating SSRI...I have tried almost all antidepressants by now. I keep going around and around trying to figure out what it is...I've become obessive compulsive with researching...there are so many possiblities and symptoms of fatigue and it's driving me nuts. PLEASE HELP! Thank you so much.
