It might be preference for some, but really it is a matter of how individual our brains are--what works for some, doesn't work for others, especially for people who have hard-to-treat problems, of which there are many on this board.
I, too, am thrilled to see a non-stim med that could benefit kids with ADHD.
For me, I take adderall xr as part of a cocktail of meds for depression. It helps me feel calm and focused, and augments my antidepressants. I do wonder whether strattera would be helpful for me, but it isn't clear to me yet whether it offers anything for my issues. I'm reading the updates in the meantime. Also, I already take one med that has norepinephrine action (effexor) so that is also a factor.
But thank you for the reports on how well it's working for your son. I think to have something non-stim, especially for such a young child, is fantastic.
