NO!
You are not the only one! I have recently (sort of) been dx'd w/ADD, on top of refractory depression complicated by lethargic anxiety. I've tried ssri's, snri's, benzos, beta-blocker (Inderal), buproprion, etc.
I had a sneaking suspicion I might have ADD and my current therapist and p-doc dx'd me as such.
Hooray! The only drug that ever really helped my dep. was phentermine, which I took at a diet clinic a few yrs. ago.
So, I am now on Effexor, high dose Adderall or dex (we're trying them out for individual efficacy) klonopin (clonazepam) 2mgs daily & inderal. My appetite has not been this stimulated since I took Remeron 2 yrs. ago! Maybe it's the Eff doing it, don't know. But I have gained 10 lbs and only want fruit (sweet & juicy, for dry mouth) and vanilla icecream with hot fudge sauce. And lots of diet doke and 7-up. Plus water a couple times a day.What is happening???
