>> Can you just clarify to me what

>>dexedrine? I am on both meds as well, but Effexor has been pretty helpful in counteracting the dexedrine side effects without interfering with my ability to focus. I did, however, experience some intense side effects when I started the Effexor which were relatively short-lived.To clarify: the ‘overfocus affects' that I
referred to did not result from my using dexedrine. They are a component of my A.D.D. package. (It involves a propensity for my brain to
‘get stuck' into a thought patters, somewhat like a person who has OCD). Effexor is the first line of treatment for people who suffer from this subtype of A.D.D. according to Dr. Daniel Amen's book ‘healing the A.D.D. brain. Incidently, I highly recommend viewing his web site if A.D.D. is a topic of interest to you (www.brainplace.com)
>>How long have you been taking dexedrine for?I have been taking the dexedrine for nine months now.
Thanks,
