Is Effexor making me a zombie?
I am so tired all the time...well, not really tired even. I mean, I don't feel tired, but I feel like a walking numb person. I stopped doing activities I used to enjoy. I sleep like 11 hrs per night, I can't get up. I have stopped crying, but I also barley do anything now. I refuse to go out on the weekends? Is this from the med or just symptoms of my depression? I can't tell?

" Effexor worked for me in the past. I felt good for 3 years. Then I got off of it and became depressed again. I am now taking it again. I am on my seventh week. I feel better but not totally yet. I read it can take up to 12 weeks for the full effect to take place. I am patiently waiting for the full effect that I experienced befor when I took it. "
