Pdoc just added Effexor to my Lamictal, Remeron and Risperdal for ADD. Has anyone here used Effexor for ADD? How long does it take until it works and how can I expect to feel? Pdoc won't put me on a stimulant since I am bipolar, says it might make me manic.

In reply to Starting Effexor for ADD, what to expect?, posted by rainbowlight on June 7, 2002, at 18:47:44
Generally Effexor takes several weeks to work. That generally means up to two months. In the beginning there may be side effects like nausea and insomnia which should subside in time. But it is an individual thing.
I am taking Effexor XR but only on day 7 (37.5 mg), going to 75 mg tomorrow. It does not seem to be working yet. Although I have had trouble sleeping. Perhaps that is the withdrawal from Celexa however.
