What Medications Are Suggested For Increasing Energy?

I have been taking the antidepressant Effexor XR for years. Recently I mentioned to my doctor that it work wonders on my mood but still have tough time getting out of bed due to lack of energy. He started me on Brintellix which help my energy but does nothing for my moods plus makes me severely nauseated. What other meds would you recommend for me that give me more energy but still would control the mood. Thanks!

Thank you for asking
vortioxetine aka brintellix is another antidepressant. You need a psychiatric rehab and a lot of therapy sessions to get your energy back. Its time to find something other than medicine as help for your energies which would be wise and needs an expert psychiatrist help to sort it out. it will be lengthy process but success will be yours at the end.
take care
