> I'm on 75 mg of Effexor xr and Adderall, and it seems that its hit or miss with Adderall. Somedays I take it and it works great energizes me and helps me focus, other days it doesn't work at and actually makes me feel sort of disphoric and tired. I'm not sure if It is a dosing problem with the Effexor or if I tend to have varing dopamine levels. I'm thinking of taking L-tyrosine supplements but I'm not sure

I was taking a tiny dose of Effexor with 5mg Adderall for a few weeks and I noticed that the Effexor would induce quite a bit of tiredness (despite the Adderall being taken at the same time in the morning). Are you taking the Effexor/Adderall together at the same time everyday? I noticed the tiredness thing related to the Effexor would be the worst when the peak blood levels were highest (about 2-4 hrs post-dosing), then 6+ hrs. that would wear down and I could feel the alertness from the Adderall. Perhaps you could suggest a dose decrease in the Effexor (to 37.5mg?) or *split* the 75mg dose into two 37.5mg doses and see how that goes?
