In reply to Effexor XR. GREAT MED but sooo TIRED...Help??, posted by Kaptabs on July 26, 2014, at 22:50:27
Nortriptyline or wellbutrin might be of use. You may wish to check b12 and thyroid levels (if not already done).
Atomoxetine (a 'non stimulant' add med) may help.
Also, lack of restorative sleep may contribute (or cause) daytime fatigue. I take remeron and Effexor and although remeron is highly sedating, it actually improves my daytime fatigue over Effexor alone,
Sometimes I also take cocoa nibs to help fatigue. This can be highly stimulating (on par with amphetamines) so it may not mesh well with you.
Other options include ginger root or co-q10. I find ginger root very helpful for chronic fatigue like symtptoms. It also goes very well with Effexor.
