Yes, yes, yes!! I was in your same shoes last summer - had all the same symptoms! The doctor had me reduce the Effexor down to 150 and add 150 Wellbutrin. Adding the wellbutrin has helped curve the carb cravings, give me a normal sex drive and relieved the exhaustion. I still need an afternoon nap, which is unusual for me. Everyone is different, though, and it took me 9 months to get the correct med and dosage but, I wouldn't "settle" for these side effects so soon. Best wishes to you..I remember only too well how trying a time this phase of your life can be but, hang in there, there is light at then end of the tunnel!
