Er... Maybe... Your job is understimulating for you now that you are getting the hang of it. The point of medication... Isn't meant to be 'social control' (i.e., to make you a happy little housewife or happy little working drone). There is a function of boredom... Maybe it is to motivate you to... Ask if you can take on some more responsibilities or something like that. Something to keep you stimulated at work.

So sorry but... Telling you to take something to supress that would just be dumbing you down. Are you able to ask if there is more that you can do? Or perhaps you can do things that will help you feel stimulated outside work? Learn to Tango? Play tennis? Start painting?

Had nothing to do with taking medication to dumb me down. I'm talking about in general. In living with feeling depressed each day that its becoming hard to function again, the crying spells, the unhappiness etc.

The job situation was another issue that I was trying to work out if my new medication wasn't helping me therefore making me feel less interested in work, or if it was the work itself.

My new job has less people contact, older one had more and that stimulated me. I know what works in that sense.

And I thought coming onto these threads you CAN ask for help of what are good medications to try etc, not be told that I 'want' to be dumbed down.

Its the last thing I want to do, I was doing extremely well before coming off Efexor, not that i'm going to get into all that here but anyhow. I saw the doctor and has advised Mirtazapine isn't the best option for me, he's given me the option to trial Lexapro, something i'm not quite sure of either.
