So went to the doctor and long story short I was prescribed venlafaxine (Effexor). Has me starting out on 37.5 mg for 10 days before going to the 75 mg dose. Appears that is on the lower end of the dosage from the little bit I read. It does seem to have already had an overall positive effect. Only side effect is feeling a little sick to my stomach which is pretty common place, but not throwing up and shit like when my previous doctor tried citalopram. I can deal with that. It is too early to tell but doesn't seem to have caused any adverse effects in mood or other side effects. All I can attest to is that I do feel more energized and can't say I felt bad or "gloomy" but definitely need to give it more time, especially given that I'm on half the dose, so we'll see how it plays out.
