Why would someone be immune to stimulants?

Posted by joe schmoe on March 1, 2013, at 6:55:49

A friend of mine is convinced she has ADD and has gone to a pdoc for treatment but with no success. She has tried a variety of stimulants, which have had absolutely no effect - they neither helped her focus, nor did they make her jumpy. They were like placebos.

Anyone have any idea how or why a stimulant would not affect someone at all?

I have no experience with stimulants. Since I have anxiety, the last thing I would ever want to try is a stimulant.

Are there any alternatives for adult ADD? She already takes Effexor for depression.
