Hi Patty - I'm sorry I have no experience with anything you're discussing, but I DO want you to know that I'll be thinking about you. Please let us know how you're doing.

> I've not been active for quite a bit. Thought we were headed in right direction to help my son with his psychiatrist in securing Adderall, Ritalin, etc. as adjunct to 150 mg. of Effexor SR for his constant lethargy. Used a lot of comments, etc. from you folks to try and prove to him that people all over U.S. do take these medications to battle the symptoms of depression. NO LUCK. Said when Reboxotine is approved, he's a candidate.

> What he did do is prescribe additional 75 mg. of Effexor SR. Took that for 4 days and started having migraines. Stopped for several days - no headaches. Took meds again and started in with headaches. Stopped the additional Effexor about 2 weeks ago and all seemed well, but is now having migraines again. Some in day time and some in middle of night. Obviously, will have to go to doctor, but here's another glitch - he's got a 10 yr. waiver on insurance for pre-existing conditions (and MH issues) and he had a seizure in February. So if he ends up with a neurologist, I suppose they'll say it's all linked together? Sigh............feeling really blue and rather helpless:(
