In reply to Effexor and amphetamines--can this not be done?, posted by zefdie on May 3, 2004, at 18:07:16
> I know someone who is on Effexor and Adderall, which I thought was strange because I've read that the two aren't supposed to be used together and can result in serotonin syndrome. This girl also uses coke fairly regularly. Is this safe?
>
> Also, I have a pdoc appointment in a week and am going to ask for some kind of stimulant. I've taken Ritalin and Dexedrine in the past {Dexedrine worked best for me) but haven't for some time because it's been difficult to get an appointment with an MD since I've moved. What do people with ADD on Effexor tend to take? Are there any new drugs? Can I not take Dexedrine now that I'm on Effexor?

> Thanks!
>Effexor + Amphetamines won't give you serotonin syndrome, but it will most likely do bad things for blood pressure, so it should be constantly monitored.
Cheers,
