In reply to Effexor for ADD?, posted by js28ae on November 8, 2008, at 16:51:43
odd.
i have been dx bipolar with add and i've been on ritalin last several years.
i think it could induce some mania in the beginning. but it actually did wonders for my depression.
was on about 20mg Ritalin/generic.Effexor was WAY WORSE for my bipolar, i cycled like every other day...was bad for me.
i don't want to hinder your trying new med. works different with everyone. but i'm suprised he doesn't give it a try, or maybe suggest strattera instead?
since you are looking to treat ADD not depression.best wishes to you
b2c.
