I was put on Effexor a few months ago and have found it to be very helpful, though I do have that "AD apathy" thing going on with it. Oddly enough, it's increased my libido quite a bit! I've been having serious problems focusing for a long time--and horrible fatigue--so my pdoc put me on Strattera. The results: eh. I found it a bit energizing at first, and it did help me focus somewhat, but now, at 80 mg, I can't get out of bed (I literally slept all weekend) and am having traumatic nightmares. My doc said that Strattera would be energizing, but after reading this board I'm wondering if he just served me up the "newest" med in his cabinet. I'm headed back to see him today. What should I do? I desperately need focus and energy. I haven't gotten any work done for months!
Ideally, I would go on Adderall, but you can't take that with Effexor, right? HEEELP y'all!
