I have been feeling so physically exhausted for the past few weeks, and don't know what it will take to change that. Everything is such an effort to do. I have a very supportive husband -- we have been married for 45 years, this coming November. he has lived with me and this darn, miserable depression for a very long time. My depression is low-grade -- chronic -- always with me. Med does help, but right now, not so much -- so my doctor and I are at the beginning of me weaning off effexor xr -- which I have been on for nearly 8 years. I think it will take a while to accomplish this, as I know, it cannot be rushed
