Kalina - I don't think it's a good idea to discontinue the Effexor at this point in time since it has your depression under control. You should call a teaching or university hospital and get a referral to see a doctor. They can add Wellbutrin or something else to give you more energy.

Wondering if this is because of the effexor? My doctor is no longer practicing (he moved to research). I don't have a doctor right now to ask about this. I am not working and I don't know how I will even be able to get a job. No desire to interview. Rather sleep instead. I don't feel depressed though. Just very tired. If anyone could help me, I would be very grateful.
