Effexor did the same thing as the ssri's for me. Made me tired and unmotivated. It made me more tired than any of the ssri's. Not much help with anxiety or depression. Maybe one thing you could do is instead of taking 2mg perphenazine and 2mg lorazapam to sleep you could try ambien or there is another sleep med people are talking about on this board. I don't know what perphenazine is, but I have heard that benzos keep you from getting into deep sleep. So they might make you tired, but you don't get a good nights sleep on them. Then maybe you won't get fatigued and could lower the provigil. It seems like the constant taking of meds to make you sleep and then keep you awake could be contributing to your anxiety and depression.
