Hi,
I'm on Effexor XR 150 mg, Lamictal 100mg, and Lexapro 30 mg. The Effexor energizes me, takes away my anxiety 100%, made me hypomanic when I started it. I love it. Lamictal brought some stability and helped me sleep. Before I took it I was staying up till 4-6am and only getting 3 hrs of sleep. The lexapro was added to overcome some breakthrough depression I was experiencing. Lexapro has taken away much of my motivation and has made me dippier than I usually am. However, I am happy and the drug does not take away my energy, sexual desire, or affect my sleep in any way that I can discern--however, I have been getting less and less sleep at nights and making up for it with naps. I don't know if lex is causing this or if I'm summer hypomanic.
Talk to your doc about the fatigue. No one should have to put up with that. Anyway it might go away.
Take care.
