Francesco:
I take 75mg of Effexor XR every morning for depression and 60mg of Remeron (generic) each night to counteract the sexual side effects of the Effexor plus for sleep.
I also have ADHD, but we have chosen to treat the depression first this time around and it seems to be working better. We *MAY* add a small dose of Adderal at some point in the future, but my PDoc wants to be certain that I'm stable on what I'm taking before we add anything new.
Please also note that Effexor, for the first time in my life has enabled me to get control of my thoughts, which would often run rampant, and this alone has helped my concentration tremendously.
I could tell that the Effexor was helping with the depression within a day or so of starting, definitely within the first week. It was amazing to me to not have to deal with a racing mind and suicidal thoughts. Absolutely amazing. I would have never carried anything out, mind you, but all of the extra thought was a terrific drag on my mental processes.
Does that help?
