From all I have read, Prozac tends to be the most activating SSRI for most people; followed by Zoloft (which I am on and at times in the day, can feel a bit of that- other times in the day I feel like a zombie).
Anyway, if an SSRI is what he needs, I'd say Prozac.
Also, my mother is on Effexor ( and has both depression and severe anxiety). It did take her about 8-10 weeks to really feel her energy return. Now she has more energy than ever so maybe he should give it another 2-4 weeks just in case?
I hope it gets worked out.
