In the past I have taken Welbutrin, Abilify, and Lexapro. All of these medications had unbearable side effects and I had to stop taking them. Around 2 years ago I was started on 75mg/day of Effexor XR and until recently, it has worked great. However, for the past couple of weeks I have been feeling depressed again. I am very tired and unmotivated. I have an appointment with my family doctor next week, but in the mean-time I am concerned for my mental health. Would it be in my best interest to ask for a higher dosage or to ask for a different medication.
