I have taken a stimulant with every drug combo I've taken. If it wasn't for Ritalin then and Adderall now to augment, Paxil wouldn't have done it alone, or Celexa or any of the rest. I was hyper when I was younger but if I had ADD, it was the type that spaces out, staring outside at the trees instead of listening to the teacher.
You might talk to your doctor about Adderall XR
depending on where you are. It's time released, good med. If I was a dr, that's what I would do.
A friend of mine works with a paramedic that was the first person, 40 years ago, to be put on Ritalin in the Dallas ISD. He's 40 now, still taking it, doing very well. My friend told me he was as down to earth and a good guy. If you're doc won't do a stim, then maybe Wellbutrin again.
If that fails, maybe Zoloft. If none of the SSRI's help. My next guess would be Nortriptyline, a tricyclic.
