Hi,

Which antidepressant out of duloxetine or venlafaxine causes less fatigue and sleepiness and drowsiness.

Also at what doses.

Thanks

I have been on Duloxetine, it’s horrible. It gave me massive headaches, nausea and dizziness.

As soon as I finished it I felt better.

I don't know about venlafaxine, but I have been on Duloxetine. It did help with pain relief for my lower back, it did not make me drowsy, but it did give me tremors. That's why I quit it.

Hi

I am on venlafaxine, I don't suffer any tiredness on it, am on the maximum strength but if course everyone is different

I have been on both of them and hated them. Right now I'm on gabapentin which does nothing for the nerve pain and baclofen which doesn't really do much

They put me on gabapentin it was no help at all
