have been on depression/ anti anxiety drugs for a long time. I am now on Pristiq and it does not work all the time. What is the best anti depressant being used now. I have tried effexor and lexapro. I also believe I have adhd without the hyperactivity.

You need to have an honest talk with whoever prescribes your depression medication.
You need to tell them how you feel so they can make adjustments or change medications
Also what are you taking for energy?

Wellbutrin! I cannot tolerate stimulants for my adhd, and this is the only anti-depressant that works on dopamine receptors(which is what is lacking in adhd) all other anti-depressants work on serotonin. I have been on it since Jan and have had zero bad side effects. Helping so much with initiation of tasks through completion and much more energy. Do a google search on Wellbutrin and adhd. 💖
