It would be nice to have a crystal ball at times like this.What dosage of Effexor are you taking?
If you have already tried Zoloft and Lexapro without responding to them at all, and you are still partially responsive to Effexor, I would think that adding desipramine now would make more sense than going back to a SSRI. I would keep the Vyvanse. You could also add Wellbutrin instead of desipramine. They are not interchangeable, so you might respond to one and not the other. Both drugs have the potential to treat depression and ADHD. Neither drug should cause weight gain or sexual side effects.
There are some people who respond better to Pristiq than Effexor. Just something to think about.
