Lexapro to Effexor - Complete Apathy - HELP

Posted by vic80 on April 15, 2010, at 6:00:25

Hi,
Dx: MDD and Anxiety (have no melancolic symptoms anymore)
Rx: Lexapro 20mg (morning) - tapered to 10mg yesterday
Effexor XR- 37.5mg night

My meds were changed from Lex to Effexor XR yesterday - downed lex to 10mg yesterday morning (supposed to take 10mg for another 5 days and then change to 5mg).... took my first ever effexor XR 37.5mg last night.... within an hour I felt that I am not wanting to do anything - felt quite passive - I thought I ought to be fatigue.
Been awake since past 6 hours today and have not felt like doing ANYTHING at all, just want to sit and stare around. Dont feel like talking, dont feel like reading/watching TV, nothing..... feeling absolutely indifferent towards everything. Cannot even turn my head to look around.......Feeling like a complete zombie.

Could a small 37.5mg dose of Effexor taken once cause this?
