I took Ritalin, then Concerta along with Effexor XR for about 18 months. I had taken Ritalin as an add-on with my ADs for about 5 years. When the Effexor pooped out, I switched to Celexa - HORRIBLE withdrawal from Effexor, had to be hospitalized.

Anyway, the mix of Celexa and Ritalin was just not taking care of me. I wanted to sleep all the time and had ZERO motivation. Two weeks ago, my pdoc had me add Provigil to my drug cocktail. I did not like it - it reminded me a little of mescaline that I took 30 years ago, without the euphoria. The provigil added a sharpness to my attention that was good, but I felt jittery and just wierd! And I still WANTED to sleep all day, even though I wasn't really sleepy anymore. STRANGE. I quit taking it after 1 week.

For the last week I have been taking Adderall and despipramine along with the Celexa and so far I really like it. I hate to think that the Adderall could make my depression worse. I never heard this before....

Well, good luck.
