In reply to Norepinephrine and Concentration, posted by SandyWeb on January 14, 2004, at 9:12:24
Concentration issues are often a symptom of depression. Therefore, any antidepressant can increase concentration.
I know that the antidepressant Wellbutrin is often given specifically to depressed people with concentration problems. It is both an antidepressant, and an ADD drug. Wellbutrin affects both dopamine and norepinephrine but scientists do not know which is responsible for it's antidepressant effects. I think that the ADD effects of Wellbutrin are probably more related to the dopamine.
Antidepressants, as well as ritalin and other ADD drugs affect people differently. So after my long rambling, I would say that maybe Remeron would help with ADD. I would say that if Remeron makes you less depressed, then it will probably let you concentrate better.
