I've tried reboxatine (made me cry ALL the time, and feel lousy)!! ASnd I'm on 300mg of Effexor XR, pdoc said cutting dose should make me less tired though... everyhin g else I've read contradicts this, but pdocs over here (The UK) don't listen.
Doc also won't give me thyroid meds, as my thyrloid is "just" OK when it was tested...
I do ahve severe anxiety these days, and have been dx'd as borderline personality disorder... If only I could get a hold of the fatigue, amybe I could start on the rest!!
Going to ask about the zoloft though - not tried that one (and have tried just about everything!!) Do you know what class of AD it is (such as ssri, maoi etc)
Thanks alot for the help

> Ye. Increasing your serotonin makes you tired, makes sense. Zoloft is sertraline, Lustral in many countries.

> Try Edronax (reboxetine), it's a selective noradrenergic AD. It is expensive,but wort the try. If you can't afford it, try Effexor in the higher doses (225mg+ a day). Another option is Wellbutrin. Also, if neither is helping your depression, you may try combining any AD with thyroxine, which is a thyroid hormone.

All SSRIs are also norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors to some (but not overwhelming) extent. Zoloft also has effects on dopamine, which are 1/3 of those of amphetamine ! So, now we know that nothing isreally "selective". However, Effexor acts far more than SSRIs or Norepinephrine. It is stroger than Remeron in this sense, somewhat weaker than Serzone, and much weaker than Edronax (a real noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor).
