In reply to Problems with Effexor and Ritalin together?, posted by morgan26 on June 26, 2002, at 11:16:26
Hi,
Why did your doctor add the Ritalin? Oh, okay, attention problem from the Effexor XR.
Why not try decreasing the Concerta?
Your attention problem might be fixed by increasing the Effexor dose without the addition of Ritalin. This will increase the effects of drug on norepinephrine and dopamine transmitters. At low Effexor dose serotonin is main transmitter tweaked.
Personally, I find that a cup of hot tea does the trick. Green, semi-fermented, or black - doesn't matter. I'm taking name brand Prozac, 20mg twice weekly. My attention span was much worse while taking low dose of Zoloft (25mg), and then Celexa (20mg).
You might consider the following supplements that help with brain function: Vitamin B complex, 50mg or 100mg ratio.
Coenzyme Q10, 30mg. Coenzyme Q10 is oil soluble and is best absorbed when taken with oily or fatty foods. A liquid or oil form combined with a small amount of Vitamin E is preferable. Wal-Mart sells a very good product called Twinsorb CoQ10 from Twinlabs.The best to you, Fuscia
