WOW - I have the exact same thing!! I'm on Effexor 375mg and go from feeling a low-grade depression to deep "dips" every couple weeks. It has gotten so bad that I had to take a medical leave from work. I'm considering changing ADs because Effexor makes me feel so plain, no motivation, etc = anhedonia.Interesting - I didn't think anyone else had this problem with Effexor.....IF it is the Effexor and not the nature of the depression?
