I got so fed up with the insomnia and grogginess after a week on Stattera that I dumped it and switched back to desipramine, which I had taken some months before.

>Thanks. I've tried desipramine several times. I'm very anxious on it and it makes me very angry at the most miniscule of things. Chest pain too.
I've tried just about everything under the sun - adderall, ritalin, wellbutrin, effexor, etc etc etc.
They either don't work or if they do work have some horrible side-effect.
Strattera seems the most benign so far...
Thanks
