I hope you are not looking for a single drug to take care of all your diagnosed disorders. You might have no better choice but to take Anafranil (clomipramine) and look for drugs to add on to it specifically to treat the anxiety.
I tried Strattera once to treat bipolar depression. I had no luck with it. I can't speak for everyone, but Strattera does not seem to be that effective for treating disorders other than ADD/ADHD. Interestingly, it can improve the depressive symptoms of ADD/ADHD.
If your doctor reports having had success with Strattera, you might want to extend to him the benefit of the doubt. If it were me, I wouldn't bother with Strattera. That is merely an opinion based upon observation. I could be wrong.
