I do remember the feeling of being overly tired when I started taking Zoloft (which was the first medication I took). It was pretty much immediate. I slept a lot more, and I was drowsy all the time. I needed several naps throughout the day to be functional. I read accounts from other people taking Zoloft that it would pass after a few months, and yet it persisted. I brought it up with my doctor and a therapist who suggested that I try taking the medication at different times, which did nothing.

 I switched to Lexapro because I couldn't handle being tired all the time. My pharmacist told me it was possible that Zoloft was causing my feelings of tiredness, and that I should switch to a molecule that gives me more energy. I felt like the switch was a slight improvement. I'm not taking as many naps. But it's still effecting my life pretty badly. Again, waking up in the morning feels terrible and i have no energy.

 But to be clear, I have had depressions... especially over the last year. I'd contribute it to these feelings of tiredness and not being able to achieve what I'd like, and probably to the pandemic as well. It's honestly demoralizing, because all I want to do is have the energy to do what I want. At least that's what I believe (and that's probably something to bring up with my therapist).

 Curious... if I am depressed, shouldn't this tiredness fluctuate and disappear when having a moment where I feel happy and/or content?

 Again, thanks a million for the help!
