What were you experiencing in the past that led to a diagnosis of depression? What are the drugs that helped you along the way? How old were you when the symptoms first appeared?

Roughly half of the people who have ADD also have another psychiatric disorder like depression, bipolar disorder, or an anxiety disorder.

I know one person who reported being depressed fail to respond to a bunch of standard antidepressants. At some point, his doctor began to suspect ADD. Once he was given Strattera, his depression vanished and he became functional for the first time in many years. You might consider combining Effexor with Strattera. Wellbutrin had been considered for the treatment of ADD in the past, but I don't know if more recent studies have demonstrated its effectiveness.
