I don't know if you've considered desipramine, but I was on this for an extended period, and it did not cause me sleepiness as Strattera did, with fewer overall side effects than Strattera and a very similar therapeutic effect. Both of these drugs are norepinephrine selective reuptake inhibitors, but desipramine is a tricyclic antidepressant, albeit, with the fewest side effects in that class. Strattera is supposed to be a cleaner alternative to desipramine, but my own observation was that it mainly just wound up being a lot more expensive, with worse side effects.
