Does anyone know of anyone who uses Effexor with success for both moods and focus (ADHD)? How about anyone who just uses Wellbutrin for the same issues. The traditional stimulants do not work for extended periods of time and they all add to his moodiness. Have tried Zoloft in conjunction with Adderral and seemed to make him less focused. His counselor recommended Effoxor and Flax Seed Oil.
My son was dx’s with ADHD/Inattentive and Anxiety Disorder this summer. Because the anxiety is a huge part of his problem, we put him on Wellbutrin, which, from what I understand, is an antidepressent that has anxiety reducing and attention increasing properties. In my son’s case, it has definitely improved his anxiety and his frustration tolerance. I don’t see any real improvement in attention, however.
