> I started ntoicing this after I had been on 300mg effexor for a long time and finally mentioned it to my psydoc. A low dose of generic ritalin (5mg to 10mg, twice daily) was all it took to help with this side effect.

Hmmmmm, I have some of that here. Maybe I could take a little to speed up my withdrawal. Only problem is that the 5 mg. pill makes me sleepy. My doctor at the time said that if I increase the dosage that it might become activating and help with focus (which is what I wanted). I could try taking 10 mg. but I'm too afraid of it totally knocking me out.
