Hi,

Is anyone taking ritalin with effexor? Me, I am on 17.5 mg Ritalin per dose with 75 mg a day of effexor xr. (light depression and inattentive ADD)

It's been two weeks. The first week, I was so tired that I was not able to get out of bed, really. Even ritalin did not give me energy, which it usually does. I had to take iron and B12 as well, because I had lost so much weight on both of these things and some life things, which is what probably caused the tiredness.

Side effects: sleepiness, insomnia at night (wake up every 3 hours), a bit of a fuzzy feeling, extreme fatigue

effects: general lift in mood

additional changes: better food
iron
b12
omega 3

thanks! goingforit
