I cant take this anymore....

I have just spotted your journal I was wondering if the meds you may be taking are having the affect of making you feel so exhausted,I see you are taking some and are thinking of not taking more, that seems to be a good idea, have you asked the Doctor if the meds could be causing you any problem,tell him what you have told us here, It does sound like a good idea to go back to school plus thinking about a full time job, try not to think too much our thinking always makes us feel bad. here could be another reason you are this exhausted so again a visit to the Doctor may help get some answers.  Let us know how you are doing.

I weaned myself off of effexor at the beginning of January since they were causing all the side effects that you have mentioned.  I did not do anything during the day except go to work then I would just lay around and I had no energy at all.  So, please talk to your doctor about possibly going off the effexor.  This drug can cause many side effects and their are a few others that I spoke to on the depression site that have had the same issues with this med.  

Please do not give up!   You just maybe need to find a med that works or possibly not need anything at all.  Please have faith in yourself and remember that you are the one that is in charge of what you will put or take as far as meds and doctors are concerned.  Stay with your instincts on what you are feeling.  You are only one that knows your body and how you feel.  

Take care and please do not hesitate to talk to me if you have any questions or just need a friend to talk to.  

I was in a similar situation as you. I ended up weaning off of all drugs and started taking Vit C with bioflavenoids, fish oil and a daily liquid vitamin. I feel so much better overall.  I think it was the meds doing it to me. Major side effect! My heart goes out to you.

hi
i have found yr site while looking into dopamine levels,, have u done any research into that, instead of seratinim levels,,, think you could be on the wrong meds I was on nuzak, 80mg a day & still listless & depressed, been off since august 2008, i was fine till april this year ,, now suffer from anxiety, cant lock doors , have night swets, producing breastmilk, binging on carbs, i am now seeing a therapist & he has put me on cal/mag & potasium & for a start its been 5 days now & i am feling better, but still beleive that the dopamine levels r the problem,

dont know how this site works, & who gets to read my comments can u fill me in

I agree with the rest, it might be your meds. I know some of my meds make me very fatigue.
try  to slowly taper off your pills and see how you feel...
Hope you feel better soon.
