My doctor added first buspar and then wellbutrin to my effexor for energy and motivation. The buspar gave me headaches. The wellbutrin did the trick for me - weight dropped off, and energy returned. It does make me agitated although after a month or so it's much better.
I'm afraid that many of these medications have undesirable side effects. Everyone reacts differently, and for most of us (well, me for instance) you end up deciding what side effects you can put up with in order to get the relief from anxiety, depression, etc.
Check out the main medication board, too. Lots of smart folks with no end of advice!
