> I would second this. My PDoc told me that Remeron was an antidepressant in the same class as Effexor. I use it for sleep and to counteract the sexual side effects of Effexor XR.

May I ask you how much Effexor are you taking ?
I'm thinking to go on it if my desipramine trials fails. Aren't you experiencing any sexual side-effects from the combo ? Do you have only Adhd or other diagnosis ? Sorry for all these questions, just trying to figure out what to do ... I must add that maybe Remeron was not the only culprit for my depression ... I'm taking also Tolep and I think it's contributing ...

> I would say that it seems you (Francesco) havent't been on it long enough to really see any benefits, besides perhaps better sleep, and that's only if you're taking it at night.

You're probably right. I quit Remeron last night just because I found myself very depressed, and when I'm not on meds I am *never* that depressed. But maybe I made the wrong choice. Given your experience it seems that Remeron is not necessarily an unesuful med even for ADHD.

> From personal experience, getting the best sleep that I can remember and getting my depression lifted has helped tremendously with my focus and concentration, as my mind isn't tied in knots with other things...

How much did you have to wait for the depression-lifting ? And how much for the end of the over-sleeping ? For me it was a big problem ... I slept 11 hours per night and felt sleepy all over the day. But maybe Remeron is a good add on for Effexor and not for Desipramine.
