So, I haven't felt well since I had my dd a year ago. At first, my doctors felt the answer was to increase my Zoloft. Finally, I couldn't take it anymore, and I made an appointment to see a psychiatrist, but there was a 6-week wait to get in. So, I saw my family practice doc, and she transitioned me from Zoloft to Effexor, with the hope of me developing a baseline for treatment when I finally do see the psychiatrist.

When I was weaning off the Zoloft, I had a complete burst of energy. I was in a great mood. I was super-productive at work. Now, I've hit a wall. I've been on Effexor for about a 1.5 weeks now, and I'm a beast. I'm b*tchy and crabby all the time. I have constant headaches. And worst of all, I have ZERO productivity.

I cannot force myself to get anything done at work. I screw off all day, looking at the internet. It's like, 2 minutes of work, 20 minutes of screwing off...and so repeats the cycle. I had a lot of new duties added on to my job at the start of the year, and I keep procrastinating on starting them. I just don't have the energy to learn something new. I am doing the bare minimum. It's taken me all day--like, almost three hours now--to accomplish a task that should take about 30 minutes. And it's like I can't get myself to snap out of it.

So, anyone been through this? Is it the mental condition? The meds? Sheesh, at this rate, I don't know if I'll still have a job by the time I finally get to see the psychiatrist on February 21, much less the time it will take for anything new to kick in. Any suggestions for how to get myself out of this slump?

Sorry to hear about the problems your having. I have times when I get so unmotivated, I totally can relate. My DH wonders why some days I don't even get out of bed..ughhh

Luckily I got my meds worked out and I don't have them as often anymore. I wish I had some advice, but I just have to snap out of it on my own. It did seem to improve for a while when I started Met, but now it seems to have evened back out again.

You can always post and talk if you feel like it or feel free to PM me anytime if you'd like to just chat. Sometimes if I can take my mind of things it helps me.

I hope you feel better soon!
