Hi Simus. It sounds like we are almost in the same boat. I took effexor for almost 2 years. I gained weight - 20 pounds. I then reduced down to 75 mg with the hopes of losing the weight. Shortly thereafter, I went on the pill to control my period. And, the effexor just stopped working, but I wanted to get off due to the side effects. Starting from March to May I took effexor and wellbutrin. I felt so awful, mostly due to the effexor withdrawal. Then I was on wellbutrin alone for almost a month. I was thinking of just stopping as I could feel like this with no meds. Then in June I went to a psych np - she added the lex to the wellbutrin - I only did this for 3 weeks, but I started to feel really well. I could sleep and I had energy. NOw it is just 10 mg of lexapro and I am feeling so awful today. At first I felt well but the fatigue is overwhelming. I go back on Aug. 18th so I will ask her.

Sometimes I get really discouraged because I thought medication should make you better, but it is hard to tell before you get into all of it. And, thanks for the information about all the medicines. I think the serontonin is what my brain needs the most for sleep - except now I feel asleep all the time. Thanks for letting me vent, Calico Cat
