Have you tried AD's. I take Dex and Effexor and find the AD's decrease the amount of Dex I have to take. It seems the AD make stims more effective. Also if I just take Dex and no AD's it takes alot to bring my mood up, where as taking the AD's solves this so I just take enough Dex to focus. I have found all the AD's that work for mood in me also help some with focus, esp. Effexor. To me, because you are having to increase the dose to have same effect indicates you are not properly medicated. Something is not right. Dexadrine is not addressing all your problems. The best and most common, tried and true cocktail for adult ADD is stim + AD. Discuss some AD's with you doc, if you have not gone this route. It does not count if you have tried 2 AD's, trust me !
