One of the reasons I chose an SNRI is the reported effect on energy levels - I used to be so "busy" and always got lots accomplished. I know the depression itself is an energy-sapper, but was wondering if others eventually got an energy boost. I've only been on 8 days. Felt happier quite soon, but now I have enough in my system to mainly be only dealing with the negative side effects. Thanks for any replies

Thanks so much - just wanted to hear from someone that the energy does come back. I'm not sleeping a ton... just sort of unmotivated/hard to focus on things. :)
