> My Doc just switched me today to Cybalta......well I have to overlap it along with the Effexor Xr until I can wean off of the Effexor. I definitely told him I want to add something for the Dopamine eventually. Possible Ritalin would do the trick. I'm just so sick of having no energy and feeling like everything is some huge over the top impossible chore to do.

> Tommy!!!!!!!!!!Hi,
I was given Imipramine for swcond line ADD treatment. I remember it activating and warming the middle of my brain and causing increased hunger, and sedation. Bringing back the Ritalin IR 10mg tabs, quickly turned on the frontal cortex (yes i could feel it)and produced a fullfiling feeling, where before i was looking for "something" to do this, Booze, Cigarettes, i have taken ritalin IR for 1 and @ years and althought the dose has risen, it still helps alot, I have read dexedrine and Adderall are somewhat more effective in adults, so we'll see.
Good luck
