Desipramine has become a forgotten drug when it comes to treating adult ADD. It has repeatedly demonstrated efficacy. However, I am curious as to what differences there are between desipramine and Strattera (atomoxetine) as treatments for ADD. Are they equal in the numbers of people they help? Is the magnitude of improvement the same with both drugs? Even though both drugs are very selective NE reuptake inhibitors, Strattera may be more selective for the areas in the prefrontal cortex associated with ADD.
Has anyone with ADD tried both desipramine and Strattera in order to compare the differences?
