Is it possible to take more Effexor rather than two meds? Or have you maxed the upper limit of between 200 and 300 milligrams of Effexor? Supposedly higher doses of Effexor act less like SSRI's because the med starts to work on norepinephrine, which 'can' be stimulating. I don't think SSRI's like Lexapro are very good at increasing motivation. Although I'll feel very happy on higher doses of SSRI's, I would just rather sit. If you want to add a second med, try a very low dose of Wellbutrin. (It may increase your anxiety.)
