I would like to try Zoloft or maybe Pristiq, but I thought they might be too stimulating for my OCD, especially in combination with amphetamine. The problem is that the more sedating SSRIs do my ADD no favors, which is why I'm wondering if stimulants might offset the side-effects.
Did you find Pristiq quite gentle on the whole?
