"what can i say, dx with mild add too (who isn&#039;t anymore)  but this taken with effexor xr has helped very much with apathy, motivation, energy and enjoyment of life!  dr.&#039;s reluctantly rx this bc it is schedule 2 substance and is mostly rx&#039;d for add/adhd but it has a profound effect in boosting the effects of an antidepressant.  taken alone for depression?  not really a good idea bc it wears off fast.  i take 20-30 mg a day (tid)"
