It's possible that Cymbalta will help your ADD symptoms. The SSRI's did not help very much with ADD for me. But Cymbalta has helped, although probably not as much as Ritalin would. Cymbalta affects norepinephrine as does Effexor (at higher doses) and Strattera (an ADD drug).

> I am mainly hoping that Cymbalta will help me with lack of motivation, anhedonia, difficulty focusing. I tried Wellbutrin...but WAY too stimulating. My doctor wanted to prescribe a stimulant but I said I wanted to give Cymbalta a try before I go that route.
