Well, I certainly realize this is a premature conclusion, but I have tried Strattera for one day, and it is not really to my liking. It actually reminds me a LOT of Focalin. It provides alertness, but also anxiety and edginess for me. Not really the type of focus I seek.
But I am somewhat different from most folks here. I have worked hard to taper off stimulants, and now I find even 5 mg of dex too much for me. I find that 2.5 mg/day of dex, with holidays off, and lots of exercise, much better for me.
But granted, my opinion of the Strattera is unique to me. I will say again, however, that I find it very similar to Focalin: even that tight feeling in the stomache is similar.
