Hi Phillybob,
Thanks for the reply. I'm glad to hear that you're having some success w/the Adderall-Remeron combo. I do think it's possible that I might have more luck w/ the stimulants if I was currently on an AD.
Question: what's your experience been like w/Remeron? I found that it definitely helped w/sleep and anxiety but I felt very spacey and emotionally blunted on it. This was at a fairly low dose (~15-20mg?).
Also, I do think if all else fails that an MAOI might be a good choice. Although you do have to monitor your diet somewhat, it may be worth it. It definitely was the most effective AD I've tried, unfortunately it's kind of dicey combining these w/stims. I stopped taking it only b/c I want to try to tackle my ADD sxs as well.
Best of luck- keep us up to date on how you're doing.
Mark
