ssri - motivation-lethargic-apathetic shit

[Guest montyface]

anyone know what you can do for the common crap from ssris? motivation issues, lethargic, apathetic, and just tired shit side effects? I have anxiety so pdoc doesn't seem open to lots of options. I am on effexor today but hope tomorrow we will change because I feel like crap from it, gaining weight and shaky hands sucks.

Lexapro and Zoloft both made me gain weight, feel apathetic and very sleepy. I think it's that way for most people and I've never heard of a way to get rid of it. I'm on Cymbalta now and it's great for the depression but doesn't really help with the anxiety. If I have something to do that I know I will be overly stressed for I just take a Xanax. Unfortunately I don't have a prescription for it, so I just take my mom's friend's

I'm never going to go on an SSRI again, they mess with me too much.

Wellbutrin can work. I mainly have anxiety and get the depression from that. For me WB didn't increase my anxiety at all. But also an SSRI/SNRI alone didn't take care of my anxiety. But my combo now Cymbalta, Wellbutrin and klonopin are awesome.
