I can only handle about 20 minutes of reading, after which I become intensely tired. And the only solution becomes to sleep. It’s been like this every day for months. When I take my morning medication of Effexor 150mg, that’s when it really kicks in. And I can’t not take it because then I get withdrawal symptoms. A lot of days I’d rather just sleep than face the day entirely. I am also foggy and cloudy, bad memory, and constantly fatigued..

I am a sensitive individual, but I refuse to believe it is my Anti-Depressant causing this (also because I don’t have a choice but to stay on it - off of it I get much worse)

I am taking Effexor 150mg. Also taking multi-vitamins. Sleeping well, and eating well. Tried nootropics but those made it worse (cloudy...)

Why do I get mentally fatigued so easily? Yes, I overthink a lot, and I get depressed, but why does the body just give up like that, and just choose to sleep 😴 Aren’t we supposed to be strong individuals, always looking for new information, but all I want is to drift into sleep I just literally get mentally exshausted from a few paragraphs of reading. Like cmon, I can do better than that.

Am I just high maintenance like that or is there something more to it, like anti-depressant side effects causing the tiredness? Sad thing is that I don’t have a choice but to keep taking this thing.
