I took Effexor for a number of years, with a low dose of Prozac to augment it. During that time, I mostly felt about half awake, and it wasn't overwhelmingly effective on my depression, either.
Now I'm taking Cymbalta, along with Wellbutrin, and it not only works better on my depression, it does so without the mental fog that Effexor caused. Even taking Cymbalta alone was better in both respects than Effexor with or without the Prozac, for me, and it might be worth your while just to talk to your doctor about trying Cymbalta instead of Effexor.
Just a thought, and cheap at half the price. I hope it helps.
