My doctor treats a lot of people with ADD. He seems to like Strattera, and is not at all averse to prescribing TCA for various conditions. I saw Strattera work a miracle with an adult with ADD. I don't know if he ever tried desipramine, though. I bet desipramine would be better for any behavioral component whereas Strattera might be better for the cognitive and inattention disturbances.
