Does your med give you energy?

Say if you suffer from low mood/depression. Just curious if med is a reliable source of energy or more of a placebo effect? Ive experienced some benefit, but nothing dramatic. Actually, my multivitamin gives me some energy

I've taken quite a few different SSRI's & SNRI's over the years. Yes, I guess they were supposed to energize me. But all any of them ever did was to make me sleepy! I've recently gone off of them altogether & I now have the most energy I've had in quite some time...

cymbalta gave me so much energy = worst manic episode of my life. I didn't sleep literally the entire summer.

I find my antidepressant and mood stabilizer to sap my strength. Right now I'm on Ritalin to boost me out of the depressive mood that I have been in.

My meds calm me down. Although starting them I get more energy.

Wellbutrin gives me energy. Especially when I drink something with caffeine in it, its incredible.

I dunno anymore. Its tough because i have the anxiety to go with the lack of energy...
So its hard to treat this

I wish they'd give me energy

i need energy too

i take vitamin B12 and B6 in the morning, as well as coffee and energy drinks

wellbutrin gave me a little energy in the beginning but that wore off the longer i was on it

I just restarted wellbutrin and I can't really tell if it's giving me energy or not. I think it's taken away some of my lack of motivation, but I think that's because it's helping lift me out of a 10 month depression.

My other meds are neutral except for the ambien, klonopin (when I take it at night), and Geodon, which make me sleepy...but don't tend to put me to sleep lately, which is kind of a problem right now.

I take Wellbutrin as well, started 3 weeks back along with another med; Pristiq.
I take Wellbutrin in the evenings, and Pristiq in the mornings. I feel it should be the other way round. Because in the evenings, Wellbutrin starts to kick in after like 3-4 hours of consumption and it gives me energy boost and will cause partial Insomnia.

I'm considering seeing my psychiatrist and see if I can take Wellbutrin in the mornings instead ...

i would take the wellbutrin in the morning since its mildly stimulating

yes, remeron does.

Yeah definitely get the wellbutrin switched to the morning. Taking it at night makes no sense.

Thanks. I will check with my psychiatrist soon.

My Wellbutrin and Prozac give me energy.

As many others have stated, Wellbutrin definitely gives me energy. I decreased my dose from 450 to 300 because my hands began to shake a little
