In reply to Dextroanphetamine + Effexor + Caffiene = Success?, posted by Michelle G on March 12, 2002, at 17:29:48
Hi Michelle. That's great that you finally found a medicine combo that works for you! Congratulations on quitting caffeine, too! The only thing I can think of is that you probably are in some kind of withdrawal. It sounds like you stopped "cold turkey." Maybe a slower withdrawal would have been a little easier on you? I think caffeinated sodas have a lot less caffeine than a cup of coffee. If you continue to have problems, maybe you could try a slower taper rather than stopping abruptly and rather than raising the dexedrine. The reason I'm reluctant to suggest raising the dexedrine is that the combo (Effexor + Dex) seems to be working so well for you, so you don't want to develop a tolerance to Dex. I try to keep the stimulant doses as LOW as possible to stave off tolerance. What do you think?
