To answer the previous posts.
I don't have ADD so I am not sure.
My depression was never accompanied
by low energy, drive or stamina, infact
it was almost the opposite. I am not
manic, but my mind is persistantly
plagued by an extremely sad mood.
Everthing is just so inexplicably sad.All I could think about was death and
dying, and my mind would be consistantly
troubbled with horrible thoughts and
nightmares. I had horrible anxiety.Celexa has been the best for my core mood
in that I am no longer sad. However it makes
me very layed back and somewhat unmotivated.I tried effexor, and like has been said
before, for me it was not very good.
Why? If made me very energetic and goal
driven, but it did not lift my core sad mood.My drive is what caused the anxiety.
My drive to attain more would never
let me rest or stop working to enjoy life.
Now I can say, I don't need that to feel
good about myself. When I was suicidal
it wasn't because I thought people hated
me or that I didn't think I was worthy,
it was just my mind wouldn't let me rest.
If your coure mood is pretty good, then
I would say Remeron at 30 mg is Very
good for concentration. It enhances
spatial function, things really look
3D and stand out. It enhances co-ordination.
and generally makes things seem simpler to do.
It takes the full month for this effect to
be pronounced.Unfortunately it raised my Blood pressure
(supposedly rare) and did not lift my
core mood.So I am back on the Celexa.
