Wrong med: Maybe you don't truly have adhd if it quit working. It is common for most people to initially respond favorably to stimulants, however if they don't truly have adhd they often stop responding to the medications. If you do well with Pristiq (desvenlafaxine) for your depression but continue to have some decreased motivation try adding 30 min of exercise a day. Studies have shown this to work great!
