> hello, Freedom Seeker. I've been on Effexor since last October, also taking Wellbutrin. They have been a good combination for me. You say "not depression" in your post header - what are you being treated for?
PartlyCloudy & Roobie,
Thanks for your replies. Forgive me if this doesn't post correctly. I am not used to this site.. at any rate, my doctor has prescribed Effexor for chronic fatigue syndrome. However, I have also heard that the underlying cause of chronic fatigue is actually depression. I think it's a catch 22 of which one causes the other. I have been exhausted for well over 2 months. I started taking Effexor 3 days ago and at least I have a little of my energy back. I normally run 2 miles about 3-4 times a week and have not been able to do that in about 4 weeks. I'm actually considering trying it in the morning. So at least it has been positive so far! Thanks for the encouragement. You guys hang in there too!
