An antidepressant with action at multiple receptor sites, Effexor XR will enhance prefrontal cortex function and decrease anterior cingulate and limbic hyperactivity. Effexor XR has a starting dosage of 37.5 mg daily, increasing by one every 7 days as tolerated, to the therapeutic target dose of 75 mg to 350 mg. It should be taken with food to avoid upset stomach. Effexor XR should not be stopped abruptly because it has been associated with a discontinuation syndrome in some patients. At higher dosages, blood pressure should be monitored."
I have been diagnosed with ADHD. I will start taking Effexor XR next week; my doctor wanted me to be off the drug clonazepam (generic for Klonopin) before I started taking Effexor XR. Wellbutrin caused increased anxiety for me, but clonazepam withdrawal was causing anxiety anyway. Wellbutrin might work for you. I am taking Neurontin and Luvox right now, but will need to come off Luvox slowly as I add Effexor XR.
