Noa, I'm a bit foggy on the meds you are on, but I know when I was on the Effexor I was what could only be described as weird! It was awful and I felt like Iwas walking around in a fog and had no feelings either good or bad. Well, maybe some depression. It was AWFUL! I took myself off it cold turkey one day and never looked back, got a new shrink who directly treated my ADD with Adderall and I am a new person. I still occasionally have a struggle with it, but nothing I can't handle anymore. The Adderall has helped me make everyday easier than it was, but it is still a basic everyday life with all the struggles and rewards. Took me a long time to discover that! I do believe in the less you have to take the better, and I know that will piss off some ppl in here, but it certainly worked for me. Anyway, talk to your doc about the ADD. Once mine was treated directly, I didn't need anymore AD's.
