Re: methylphenidate augmentation of venlafaxine

Hi Europerep,

From the studies I have read, when methyphenidate augmentation does work it works very rapidly.

If you have not experienced any improvement at this stage, you probably won't. Thats not conclusive of course, just my guess.

That being said, there is a small chance that the venlafaxine is actually negating the effects of the methylphenidate. I remember when I was on SSRIs, the methylphenidate effect was greatly reduced, if present at all (the exception being in conjunction with fluoxetine for some reason).

Any how, as a side question, have you experienced any benefit from the massive dose of venlafaxine? I.e. did you notice any increased effect going from 300 -> 600mg?

My personal opinion is that you are on too much venlafaxine, and that you are probably creating more imballance with it.

Sorry if you have said before, but which ADs have you tried?
