Thanks, travelinglady!

I actually quit the Pristiq at about 2 and a half weeks. I was having worse depression in some ways and it was just insane the negative social anxiety related thoughts it was giving me, plus tiredness instead of the initial energy. I wanted to stick it out, but was just feeling too weird. I also didn't do well with Cymbalta, though, so I think it's just that SNRIs aren't good for me.
I'm about to start on Wellbutrin now, which I know may sound odd after Pristiq causing anxiety, but dexedrine helps me a bit so I think some stimulating meds can help me. Right now I feel like if I can just get more energy and keep up some motivation, it would be enough to help me start getting a handle on things since those are 2 of my most debilitating symptoms right now. Hoping it works well and I don't have to add something for anxiety, though I worry I will. :/
ANYWAY, though! Haha.

Good luck with the Effexor. Lots of people do love it from what I've read. I hope the nonfun junk part passes soon and it helps ya!
