> > Tonight, in talking with my s.o. about how I've been unable to lose weight, we calculated that I not only consume at least 800-l000 calories per day drinking soft drinks, but also a heck of a lot of caffeine that way too. I don't drink coffee. But lately I've had at least four Mountain Dews per day, and 4 or 5 glasses per day of Pepsi or Coke, on top of the Effexor-XR 375 mg/day. Does anybody have any information about how caffeine interacts with AD's? (BTW, I feel pretty good! except for being unable to take off about 20-30 lbs. I don't need.)

Since caffiene is a stimulant and stimulants are used, as you know, with AD's to augment them or deal with attentional issues, I would imagine that that's simply what you're doing with the Mountain Dew. I do it with coffee or diet coke, but now I take ritalin so I cut back on those things.The soft drinks are probably why you can't take off that weight. Drinking water, 8 - 10 glasses per day helps with weight loss.
