I've been on Effexor for over a year now and the fatigue has been pretty consistent, but before my psych had prescribed me adderall to combat it. He's left my office, and I wanted to stop taking it anyway because I had awful depressive crashes mid-day with it. So now I sleep continuously. If I'm not actively engaged or entertained I'm ready for a nap. I am a lazy person but this is crazy even for me. I'm extremely reluctant to get off Effexor though, it has been an absolute miracle for my anxiety and depression. I'm feeling the best I ever have emotionally.

Any suggestions???
I experienced that with certain SSRIs, but I don't remember having that issue with Effexor and I was on it for a few years to to 300mg/day.
