What Causes Fatigue While On Prozac And Effexor?

why would a Dr prescribe 40 mg prozac to be taken with 100mg x2 effexor daily ? what are the risk factors of this combination. The dr thinks it is depression but I think it s something else, with or without the medicine I am constantly tired and in a fog like state.

Hello,

It is quite common especially on the initial days of usage.

If you cannot tolerate the side effects, you can consult your psychiatrist and ask for alternatives.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
