I would love to find something that would counter the fatigue I fell on Paxil and Effexor. I can fall asleep at the drop of a hat.
As far as convincing your physician to try something else, tell your dr. that the Anti-Depressants help with your mood but you are having trouble functioning. That seems to be the buzzword.
Maybe your doctor would try some other medications that aren't necessarily stimulants but have stimulant effects such as Wellbutrin or Prozac. I tried both but became agitated and had horrible headaches in addition to being "stimulated."
I am still looking for something that might give me a bit more pep as well, so any suggestions would be appreciated.
