@skippingrock– I don’t know how the others feel, but I agree with kc5jck. You are welcome here, even if the diagnosis is not ADHD. There are many symptoms that overlap with depression/anxiety so you may still find a lot of information here applies to you. And you can still be helpful and supportive of others.
I don’t actually have a definite ADD diagnosis myself. My doctor is convinced that my inattention, procrastination, disorganization, etc. is being caused by my depression/anxiety. Which is odd since he was the one who first diagnosed my ADD and argued with me that I should take Ritalin when I didn’t want to.
Anyway, Effexor is a good medication and works well for many people who have ADHD. Just try to stick with it. It may be a little unpleasant at first. I wouldn’t worry too much about the dependancy issue unless you have had an issue with addiction in the past. And if it works it will change your life so it’s worth it.
