I went to the doctor assuming that I had a thyroid deficiency (less energy, tired, constantly cold, etc. becoming more noticable within the last year). Turns out my thyroid levels were fine, but he gave me a 5 week sample of Effexor XR - 37.5 for the first week, then 75 thereafter. I am fortunate & don't have any symptoms of anxiety or depression. Is this drug overkill for me? I didn't see any previous posts just for increasing energy, and saw several where the drug makes you more tired/lethargic. Any comments/ideas ? Should I stick it out for the five weeks & see what happens?
