I have been on Effexor since spring 2003. I started at 75mg and last winter I went up to 150mg. The reason the doctor upped my dosage was that I was exhausted all the time.
I don't think it has helped the exhaustion much, I think the sun did that.
I am still on Effexor and may be coming out of the not caring mode a bit. I think that I might have been feeling that way because Effexor is so good at reducing Anxiety. If I have been used to being incredibly anxious over everything, maybe I was using that to motivate myself. So Effexor could have caused a motivation vacuum. Since I've been working with this theory I've been trying to find new ways to motivate myself other than anxious worry and guilt. It seems to be working...
