I had almost all of the same symptoms that you are experiencing. The carb cravings and exhaustion were brutal!! It was like living in a fog. My doctor first increased the Effexor to 225 mgs which made the symptoms much worse. She then reduced the Effexor back to 150 and added 150 of Wellbutrin. I take both in the morning and feel really good. Nothing is perfect, of course, but I am much less tired, have a normal sex drive again and the carb cravings have reduced significantly. I have two small children, a spouse that travels 90% of the time and live in a foreign country, so being continuously exhausted just wouldn't work. Don't give up trying until you find what works for you! It's too early in the process to settle for symptoms that are making you so uncomfortable.
Good Luck!
