> I've been given a chance to try this interesting NE reuptake drug which if not effective will probably lead into MPH. Someone have any major experiences they can share?
In my estimation, Strattera is a wonder drug for people with ADD ADHD who don't respond well to other treatments, especially in adults. I have never seen it work well for depression, even in combination with other drugs. You might as well give it a try. You never know how any one person will react to a given drug. However, if you do not respond to the maximum dosage after 4 weeks, I would begin planning your next move.
A truly effective selective NE reuptake inhibitor is desipramine.
Have you tried a tricyclic yet?
Please discuss with your doctor the desirability of taking periodic blood tests, as Strattera has been known to adversely alter liver function.
