> I'm on Effexor 150 now as well and have added Concerta (long acting Ritalin). It works well. See a doc who knows what he/she is doing and isn't afraid of meds. That's what I did.
Jerry, I wondered if you could tell me your dosage of Ritalin?
I took a friend's Ritalin 20mg SR and it worked very well, except a return of symptoms in the evening. I went to the doctor and asked for Ritalin 3 a day doses, and Effexor for overfocus. He gave me the Effexor and Ritalin, but only 5mg twice a day.
The days I've taken it I don't feel like it's enough Ritalin. I don't get the same benefits as when I took the 20mg SR. I feel tired and not as motivated.
