> I am soooooo confused. Some people remain tired and some people get over it. For the last poster: (sorry forgot your ID) did you get significantly tired after taking the WB? I took it and within an hour was totally wonked out.
Yes, I was zonked out after taking the wellbutrin and effexor upon waking. I felt sleepy all day. But its hard to know for sure if it was caused by the effexor or the wellbutrin, or the combination. I do not recall getting so sleepy when I took effexor by itself a few years ago, but then again, this time around, I have experienced other side-effects that I did not have back then from the effexor either.
Sorry, that is not of much help. I sympathize with your frustration. I have been seeking an effective or even semi-effective treatment for ten years now. And the side-effects of the drugs I have tried have been severe at times. I felt like I was always complaining about something new to my friends and family. Despite the symptoms being real, it's embarressing and humiliating because of the image I projected to others.
