I'm trying this stuff & honestly don't know much about it. The thinking is that it's rated for OCD & I tend to be on the obsessive/overfocused side with my ADHD. Stimulants alone just make me hyperfocus worse so I thought I'd try ritalin with an SSRI. I've got some Prozac too if this doesn't help. I'm just a week into it & not noticing much except a bit queasy/dizzy/nervous in the morning after I take 50mg. I'm also adding 1mg of clonazepam to take the edge off the hyperfocusing. Effexor knocked out my emotions & messed with my sleep. So far I can still have feelings and pleasure... I was not taking stimulants with effexor though. Wellbutrin also messed with my sleep. The norepenephrine stuff seems to react badly for me, I think I already have too much adrenaline. I was taking some pure dopamine meds from overseas that really felt good & removed any trace of depression but I still overfocused and my big problem is procrastination, getting distracted & sucked into projects & not able to convince myself to take care of my chores. Zoloft is supposed to have a pretty decent amount of dopamine action.
