Greetings,

I am new to the forum. I am married and have an eight year old daughter. I recently started taking Focalin 20 mg for newly diagnosed ADD. I already take Paxil and Klonapin for depression and anxiety. In the past, my various antidepressants have stopped working for me and I had to switch. I have been on Imipramine(many years ago) and Prozac and Celexa at various times. I am wondering if others have had the experience of either having their ADD medication just stop working, or if they have been required to keep upping the dosages to achieve the same effect.
I have an incredible calmness and focus on the Focalin that I have previously not experienced.
I would appreciate if anyone could share their own experience. I have found a lot of useful information and great support in the current postings of this section as well as the others. Thanks to you all for being here!
