Hi, i am taking venlafaxine 150mg in morning for depression and before sleep i take mirtazapine and melatonin before i sleep. But i still have difficulty concentrating or focusing on things for long time. I dont even have the patience to watch a youtube video for 5 minutes. I just dont know why ! I have been like this since i was 13 and it spoiled my studies. I am not able to sit and focus peacefully to study like others. Even studying for 30 minutes will make me feel stressed out and i always felt studying/mental work took more out of me than anyone else.
I never told about this studying problem to my psychologist . I just told him i have anxiety and feel depressed. So he gave me those meds. Could anyone suggest me good nootropics to stay focused, motivated and study long time without getting me agitated or anxious ? (I cant take coffee or any stimulants as they worsen my nervousness)

Always speak to your doctor about things like this. They need to assess if it is something more serious that needs a supervised plan to tackle. It sounds like you told him that you were anxious and depressed, so he is treating your for that. However, either those meds are giving you side effects, and need to be adjusted, or you are treating the wrong thing. Nootropics are not the answer till you figure those details out with your doctor. Sometimes it is a simple diet change and adjustment of your other medication that can get things more normal. You'd rather address the cause than mask the symptoms.
