Hey SLS,
was on Ritalin and Rit LA in 2005, neither worked well for either ADD or depression.
interesting, i will put Focalin (XR) down on my list of possibilities.CE
have not take pro or nuvigil. though i did bring up provigil to pdoc before...but never went anywhere.
thank you for kind wordsi was on low dose remeron before with no response at all.
seroquel dumb as box of hammers.
no supplements, but i do as mostly natural foods as possible.(finally got juicer and Love it.

Although the improvement lasted only 5 hours, there wasn't a severe crash afterward. However, there is now a long-acting preparation called Focalin XR. I found Focalin to be much "smoother" than Ritalin.

Personally, I like the idea of combining Effexor with either Wellbutrin or nortriptyline. If you don't want to try Effexor for some reason, Lexapro or Zoloft would make reasonable alternatives.
