I've been on many ADs, including Effexor XR. I was at 225 mg/day.
The main side effect was intense fatigue. So i agumented with Lithium.
My depression and moods were greatly improved, but I couldn't handle being so tired.
I tried dosing at different times, but nothing helped. I had to discontinue it.
Remember everyone responds differently to ADs.Good luck!
> I started Effexor XR mid Sept. I started on 75mg and increased to 150mg. I've been at 150 for almost a month. My mood and anxiety have really improved. The problem I have is that I am tired ALL the TIME. I can sleep for 12 hours, wake up for 2 or 3 hours and then take another nap. I don't have the motivation to get out of my bed, no less out of my house and to the gym. Has anyone else eperienced this fatigue? Will it diminish or go away after a while? My dry mouth didn't last very long. I would really appreciate your input so I don't sleep my life away. Thanks.
