Effexor and focalin combination

Posted by RobJL on October 29, 2005, at 10:36:05

Anyone taking this combination? I am taking one for ADD and 1 for degression - 2 seperate Doctors, just want to be sure the combo is safe and will be effective. Any comments appreciated.

I can't think of any reason why you could not combine these drugs. In fact, they will probably work better together than would either one alone for both conditions. Effexor has shown some positive effects in treating ADD according to some medical literature. In addition, the Focalin might help prevent the apathy that Effexor sometimes produces as a side effect.

Good luck.
