Hi RJ,

I guess my pattern was from day to day, trying so hard to lift myself up in the morning, feeling 'foggy', exhausting myself thru the day, and ending at night with a million questions and few answers. It wasnt like you described of feeling good for any long period then down. Just repetitive day after day, like, I never learned anything that stayed with me longer than half a day or so. I remember noticing, after several years, that I was unable to retain any learned knowledge from day to day, like each day I was born all over again and completely ignorant.

I know thats not the info you were looking for but I thought I would share my experience for what its worth.

I wonder about the effexor? You might try posting this in psych meds?

Sorry you're down friend and I hope you find the answer.
