Hi Bill,I take Zoloft for my depression but I also tookEeffexor for a while before (it helped my depression but not anxiety symptoms), so I went back to Zoloft. The sexual side effects of Zoloft were not as apparent (just subtle) compared to when I started taking Strattera. I also take Lamictal for anger management.
Zoloft is 25mg and Lamictal 50mg, both dosages once daily. My prior dosages were higher, I was weened off to lower dosages before I started taking Strattera, and now maintain the dosages above for the time being.
BTW, I also take Rivotril 0.5mg before bedtime... Thanks for replying.
