Iv been suffering from depression for years so I went to my doctor some time ago and was prescribed an SSRI (celexa) for said depression and anxiety. I found they made me feel almost crazy and had horrible nightmares so I stopped 3 weeks in. My doctor wants to start me on effexor but Im apprehensive about trying it considering how the other one made me feel. Anyway this post really hit home for me and I know exactly what you mean when you mention constant boredom and inability to be satisfied it really does suck. I cant remember the last time I wasn't tired or simply felt content. After reading this and seeing that medication among other things helped you I think it may be time to give the effexor a try... cant make it any worse and my self medicating has taken quite a toll at this point... so yeah... thanks for writing this.

Hey. Thank YOU for telling me this, and I'm really glad my post helped. Think of anti-depressants as a "what works for you" type thing. There was one type the doctor tried me on and I had such bad night terrors that I woke up punching my bed head-board. But what I am on now works for me. It's a bit of a trial and error at the start.
