you're on adderall, right? When I took Tofranil-PM, a somewhat modified, old-school antidepressant with my Adderall, I got pretty good results. Less anxiety, better mood, more energy, and I even slept better (the Tofranil-PM is once-daily, so it kind of doubles as a sleeping pill, at least early on in treatment). If your Effexor isn't working and AAP drugs aren't helping, then I would think a TCA might be appropriate. There's also BuSpar, which is much cheaper than the AAP drugs and might relieve tension, although its anti-anxiety effects are often kind of unimpressive. Still, its a reasonable option, and you can get a 30 day supply for $4 or less at many chain pharmacies.
