Switching to desipramine from effexor which is mostly working, because desipramine worked for all you symptoms in the past is a reasonable approach. You should also consider the other route which is to add a stimulant (ritalin, adderal, dexedrine) to treat the ADD, and stay on effexor. Talk it over with your psychiatrist, and go with whatever choice you feel most confident about. All things being equal, which they never are :), fewer meds are better than more meds.
Hoping you get what you need as soon as possible,
Britt
